Level 1 Health - Hauora Tahi (HEA101)

Course Description


In level 1 Health, students will learn the importance and understanding of the concept of hauora / health and wellbeing and how it relates to individuals, whānau, communities, and the surrounding environment. Students will learn that there can be diverse ways of understanding hauora, influenced by a person’s values, cultures, experiences, identities, and worldview. 

 Students will learn relevant models of health that are reflective of the diverse cultural backgrounds and experiences of ākonga across Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific. They will explore how values like tiakitanga, manaakitanga and whanaungatanga are fundamental to health and wellbeing and that hauora is more than a matter of personal choice and individual responsibility. This course also has a strong focus on social justice and how positive health outcomes for all people and communities are only possible when inequities are addressed, and all members of society are treated fairly. 

Students will learn how to gain the confidence to analyse differing perspectives and messages about mental health, relationships, and sexuality, supporting their ability to make positive, health enhancing decisions for now and the future. 

Common themes and topics studied include, culture and identity, promoting positive sexual health, understanding ethical dilemmas related to health situations, positive decision making in health related situations, building positive self confidence and self-esteem, and strengthening positive relationships.
