Hauora is a Māori philosophy of health and well-being unique to New Zealand.^[1]

It helps schools be educated and prepared for what students are about to face in life.^{[citation needed]}

There are four dimensions of hauora: taha tinana (physical well-being – health), taha hinengaro (mental and emotional well-being – self-confidence), taha whanau (social well-being – self-esteem) and taha wairua (spiritual well-being – personal beliefs).^[2]

The Whare Tapa Wha model represents aspects of Hauora as the four walls of a whare, each wall representing a different dimension. All four dimensions are necessary for strength and stability.^[3]

Other models of hauora have been designed. For example, in 1997, Moeau^[who?] suggested that a fifth dimension, whenua (connection with the land), be added to the original model. In 2001, Hokowhitu^{[citation needed]} also tried to have whenua added to the Tapawha model but again it was not added.^{[citation needed]}
