Non-Uniform Days:

From time to time, students will have the privilege of "dressing out" for school. There are several rules around these special days. These are as follows:

  • Students will come to school in appropriate clothing. Items, which are ripped, torn or not clean, are unacceptable.
  • Jeans and sneakers may be worn on a dress down day. Note: No backless shoes, sandals or flip flops may be worn for safety reasons.
  • Unless specifically mentioned – hats may not be worn in school.
  • Shirts may not have messages that are offensive or violent. Please remember that when you wear any shirt with an advertising message, you are endorsing the product. Advertising for tobacco or alcohol products is unacceptable in our school.
  • If anyone has a doubt about the acceptance of any article of clothing, it is recommended that you bring an alternative.
  • If there is a special dress day, students must comply with the directions, or wear their regular uniform, e.g. wearing of green on St. Patrick’s Day.
  • The Principal’s decision on appropriate dress will be final.
  • No dress down passes will be allowed on the following occasions:
  • Days when we are going to Church.
  • Days when we have a special assembly or speaker.
  • Days when we are going on field trips- unless specifically announced.

* Note: These rules apply for Birthday Casual Day Certificates as well as any other dress out occasions
