Your children may have come home talking about Te Whare Tapa Whā. This video provides a simple explanation for you.

Te Whare Tapa Whā explores all aspects of our health and well-being and uses Sir Mason Durie's model as a way to kōrero about the different areas that contribute to our hinengaro (mental health) and the way we feel. The most important thing for tamariki to understand is that many things contribute to our well-being. What is ‘wellbeing’? We like this simple way of defining well-being as – Feeling Good and Functioning Well.
