01Hauora: holistic wellbeing in context
This section covers the Hauora domain of the NCEA Level 1 Hauora examination. The exam tests whether you can explain hauora as a holistic Māori concept, apply models such as Te Whare Tapa Whā to unfamiliar contexts, and justify health-enhancing decisions with evidence rather than opinion. Hauora is wellbeing, not merely the absence of disease. It is shaped by the relationship between dimensions, not by each dimension in isolation.
