Welcome to our new staff!

August 29th, 2024

We are excited to welcome ~16 new staff members, to Pembina Hills this year! These newest members of our division have a mix of experience that will enrich the diversity of our staff. To help them prepare for their new assignments, many of our new staff attended orientation sessions focused on:

  • Employee orientation — Learning about the division’s processes and systems as well as all the benefits of being an employee of Pembina Hills.
  • Understanding the values, priorities and culture of Pembina Hills
  • Engaging and growing together as a community of learners through shared experiences
  • Effective teaching to support diverse learners — They learn about the strategies intended to impact the division’s priorities: Student – Staff Relationships,  Literacy and Numeracy, and Support for Staff.
  • The continuum of supports available for students and staff

We wish them all the best in the upcoming year! Welcome to the team!
