About Us

“We think of a school for young children as an integral living organism, as a place of shared lives and relationships among many adults and very many children. We think of school as a sort of construction in motion, continuously adjusting itself.”

– Loris Malaguzzi

Aurora Ecosystem

Children are active protagonists of their growth and development processes as our core value at Aurora Ecosystem.

“We are and we need to be convinced of this – in an ecosystem: Our journey on earth is a journey that we take together with the environment, with nature, with the cosmos; Our organism, our morality, our culture, our feelings are connected to the environment, to the universe, to the world. And therein lies the web of our life.”  

– Loris Malaguzzi

Academic Year 2025 – 2026 Academic Year 2025 – 2026

Academic Year 2025 – 2026

WEAVING ECOLOGICAL IDENTITIES – Listening to the world around us. 
 
Welcome all Aurora learners and families to academic year 2025 – 2026. It was such a joy to see everyone – especially the children, who truly bring our school to life. This school year goes with the concept of “Weaving ecological identities”. Through connection with place, the seasons, plants, animals, and elements, we begin to form an ecological identity – one that understands the self as part of, not separate from, nature. Rooted in Reggio Emilia Experience as well as New Zealand Curriculum values of relationship, interdependence, and the hundred languages, this inquiry explores how learners construct meaning about themselves as part of ecological systems, cultivating care, responsibility, and awe for the world around them. By observing, listening, and responding to the rhythms and voices of the natural world, we nurture a sense of belonging that reaches beyond the human and towards an entangled, ecological self.
 
We’re excited for a year filled with joy, discovery, and engaging learning experiences. Our passionate teaching team is feeling energised after an inspiring week of professional development, and we can’t wait to begin this journey together! 📚
 
Here’s to a fantastic year ahead! ✨
Nursery & Preschool Nursery & Preschool

Nursery & Preschool

Children in our Nursery and Preschool develop number sense and literacy skills through everyday projects and provocation in their daily exploration.

Play sets the foundation for the development of critical social and emotional knowledge and skills. Through play, children learn to forge connections with others and to share, negotiate and resolve conflicts, as well as learn self-advocacy skills. Play also teaches children leadership as well as group skills. Furthermore, play is a natural tool that children can use to build their resilience and coping skills, as they learn to navigate relationships and deal with social challenges as well as conquer their fears.

Primary Primary

Primary

Our educational philosophy is inspired by the Reggio Emilia experience within a Vietnamese cultural context. Responsibility, community involvement, respect, and sustainability are at the core of what drives our school. Under-pinning our educational philosophy is the image of the child: a competent child, full of knowledge, potential, and curiosity, active in constructing his or her own knowledge through interactions with others and the environment around them. By adopting the New Zealand curriculum, we are able to integrate a Reggio Emilia-inspired philosophy, with an Inquiry-Based approach to teaching and learning practices.

Middle School Middle School

Middle School

Our vision for learning in Senior Primary and Middle School 

As in Preschool and Primary, we maintain our focus upon the child at the centre of all we do and our vision of them as capable individuals with ownership and agency over their learning. Our vision of an Aurora Learner is equally applicable for the Middle School children. However, there are some differences to teaching and learning for these grade levels. he learners are increasingly independent and eager to research and complete projects alone and in groups. We allow greater flexibility for them to do this so that they can plan events such as the Aurora Olympics, end of year disco, etc. on a broader scale and engage in more learning outside the classroom in the community to gain more authentic understanding of sustainability and social issues in the local area.

AURORA FIRST ENCOUNTERS

THE PLEASURE OF WONDER

Aurora First Encounters: The Pleasure of Wonder will provide a context for parents to learn alongside the children and get to know the Aurora approach. Through the courses:

– Children will benefit from a beautiful environment and rich experiences with open-ended materials.

– Children will become familiar with the environment and some teachers before the settle in as enrolled children in future years.

– Parents will have the opportunity to learn alongside their children, about how children learn through play, gentle respectful pedagogy, and the Reggio Emilia Experience.

– Parents will understand Te Whariki (New Zealand Curriculum) and principles of RIE. Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE) is a parenting philosophy. The basic beliefs that guide RIE Parenting are defined by mutual respect, trust, and connection between parent and child. RIE aims to view your child as a unique human with their own identity, preferences, and desires.
