The school's SEL is supported through play-based learning that develops social and emotional knowledge and skills in Nursery and Preschool. Play is described as foundational for children to form relationships, negotiate, resolve conflicts, and develop leadership and resilience. Teachers build responsive, reciprocal relationships to help children initiate and maintain peer interactions and regulate emotions. Together Thursdays provides a safe space for Aurora families and teachers to discuss child development and strategies for nurturing emotional intelligence, cognitive skills, and social competencies. Well-being and SEL are reinforced by Te Whāriki and New Zealand Curriculum influences that guide respectful pedagogy and equitable opportunities to participate in the learning community.
