Please note, this posting is for placement in a pool and not for immediate placement into a Principal or Vice-Principal role. We are committed to creating a school board that reflects the diverse communities we serve and to ensure an equitable and inclusive work environment. We especially welcome applications from individuals who would contribute to the further diversification of our staff, including but not limited to, those who self-identify as visible minorities, persons with disabilities, African, Black, Caribbean, Indigenous and other racialized individuals, and other persons of equity seeking groups. You are invited to voluntarily indicate in your cover letter if you identify as one or more of the aforementioned communities. This information will be kept confidential.
PVNCCDSB recognizes that, consistent with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), the Ontario Human Rights Code and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, employment practices and procedures at all levels should reflect, demonstrate understanding of, and respond to a diverse population. In our efforts to ensure an inclusive, diverse and representative workforce, we will value, promote and encourage the hiring of staff from under-represented communities.
Successful candidates will become an integral part of the leadership in our schools, and have responsibility for advancing the board’s vision and mission. Successful candidates will be able to demonstrate that they have personal leadership resources and leadership practices found in the Ontario Catholic School Level Leadership Framework; can promote student achievement; can lead professional learning communities; and are dedicated to ensuring that all of our students are successful in achieving the Ontario Catholic Graduate Expectations. Successful candidates will also be expected to build partnerships and engage with Black, Indigenous and racialized communities; provide culturally responsive supports to employees, students and families; and identify and respond to systemic barriers that Black, Indigenous and racialized employees, students and families face within the school community.
