There is a current opportunity to obtain paid lunch hour work at Whyte Ridge school (1.25 hours a day) assisting with the school lunch program. The school is specifically interested in Faculty of Education students for this work. This is an excellent opportunity to see how schools function at a different level than practicum and meet some new teachers and administrators. You would not need to be available every day but even one day a week would help out the school immensely. Please note that by accepting a position, as one of the lunchroom supervisors, you will not be able to participate in a practicum at Whyte Ridge school. Please ensure that, if interested, participating would not in interfere with either your faculty-based coursework and attendance or practicum.
Lunch supervision pays $17.13 and hour for 1.25 hours. Hours are 11:00 - 12:15 Monday to Friday. Payroll and tax forms will be sent to you to fill out as well as Child Abuse Registry Check, Winnipeg Police Record Check, Workplace Safety Orientation information, and Commit to Kids.
Please contact Cyndi Tibbs at ctibbs(a)pembinatrails.ca<mailto:ctibbs@pembinatrails.ca> if interested or you would like further information.

Your journey as an education student is incredibly important, and we would love for you to share it with our followers and prospective students around campus in March.
The idea is to have one student a month to share their day on Instagram.
During the takeover, we encourage you to share various aspects of your day as an education student. This could include:
* Attending classes or lectures
* Participating in group discussions
* Engaging in study sessions
* Preparing lesson plans or assignments
* Interacting with professors or classmates
* Pursuing extracurricular activities related to education.
Feel free to get creative and share the highlights, challenges, and insights that define your experience as an education student. This is an opportunity to connect with our community and inspire others who may be considering a similar path.
If you're interested in participating, please confirm your availability during March. Additionally, let us know if you have any specific ideas or themes you'd like to focus on during the takeover.
