You are going to choose a te ao Māori model of health and show your understanding of how an activity affected hauora according to the framework of the model.  

You will reflect on the ‘Matariki ahunga nui’ activity, or an alternative activity as agreed with your kaiako, to consider the effects of the activity on hauora, for yourself personally, and/or for others. 

You will create your own individual response, where you will cover the following: 

  • Describe the effect that the ‘Matariki ahunga nui’ activity has had on hauora, including reference to actions that were deliberately taken throughout to enhance hauora. Give examples from the activity to illustrate your points. 
  • Explain why the activity affected hauora. Refer to specific dimensions of the model and provide evidence to support your explanation. 
  • Describe interconnections you have observed between the different parts in the model of health, in relation to the activity. 
  • Explain why different parts of the model of health interconnected, in relation to the activity. 
  • Draw conclusions about how hauora would be impacted in the short-term and also in the long-term by the ‘Matariki ahunga nui’ activity. This may mean that you reflect on the short-term impact on hauora of the activity and use this reflection to predict how hauora will continue to be affected by this activity. You may refer to the effects on hauora of individuals, groups, or communities. Use evidence to support your ideas.

How to present your learning

Choose the most effective way of presenting your response, from the following options:  

  • An annotated diagram that features a visual representation of the model of health, your descriptions and explanations, and your examples and evidence from the activity (which could include visual evidence such as photos). This could be in a form such as a poster or a large-scale digital presentation. 
  • A written or oral interview (750-800 words excluding interview questions, or up to 4 minutes) where you co-create relevant questions with your kaiako that are based on the prompts in the ‘What to do’ section, and you then create and deliver your answers. 
  • Another mode of submission, as agreed with your kaiako.

Getting started

As part of the teaching and learning programme so far this year, you will have engaged in the ‘Matariki ahunga nui’ activity, or another activity as agreed with your kaiako. 

Before you start the Assessment Activity, spend time in wānanga with your classmates and kaiako, sharing about the experiences and impacts of the ‘Matariki ahunga nui’ activity. This will help to stimulate your thinking and ideas, especially in relation to how and why the activity affected hauora. 

You will also need to revisit what you have learned about te ao Māori models of health. Wānanga about the various dimensions of the models and how they would help you to make sense of the impact of the ‘Matariki ahunga nui’ activity on dimensions of hauora. Choose which model of health you consider to be the most relevant for this Assessment Activity.

Student resources

As part of your learning programme, you are going to create and prepare a ‘Matariki kai’ (a Matariki-inspired dish) to contribute to a shared kai tahi (eating a meal together) with your classmates, who will also contribute their own dishes. Following this practical activity, you will reflect on the affect it had on hauora, and you will use it to do the Assessment Activity. 

Because the ‘Matariki ahunga nui’ activity will be built into the teaching and learning programme, your dish will not be assessed. The activity is intended to be a creative and fun experience that will help you to develop your understanding of how an activity can affect hauora, for yourself or for others. It is the quality of your responses in the Assessment Activity that will be assessed for this Achievement Standard.
