The wearing of the proper uniform is not a matter of choice, but a privilege conferred by acceptance into the Brebeuf Community. There is an obligation on the part of the students to wear the uniform properly.

The purpose of the school uniform is to instill a sense of pride in and identity with the school. In order to assure uniform compliance with the Dress Code, all students, parents, and school staff must be familiar with the regulations outlined in this document. Students returning to Brebeuf should anticipate their uniform needs. The school’s uniform supplier is McCarthy.

Students must always wear the full uniform while on school property during the school day. In addition, students are to wear their uniform to and from school. Alternate footwear and outer jackets may be worn to and from school during periods of inclement weather.

1. All items of clothing must be neat, clean, and in good repair. Students are not to write on any uniform item other than putting their names on the labels.

2. Students are expected to always wear the sweater/vest/blazer in class and in the halls, except when the warm weather uniform is in effect. A teacher may give students permission to remove their sweaters/vests/blazers, only while in the classroom.

3. Students who come to school with a uniform problem must report to the office before the first class and get a uniform slip, or progressive discipline will begin.

4. A teacher will send a student to the office for improper uniform. The student will get a note from the main office and consequences may be administered (e.g., parents contacted, detention, sent home to change etc.)

Note: Before a Physical Education period, students must leave their jacket, tie, wallet, jewellery, money and all other valuables in their locker. Students first report to the Physical Education dressing room to change into their Physical Education uniform. Students will not be permitted to participate in a gym class without wearing the complete Physical Education uniform. After Physical Education class, students must change back into their school uniform in the assigned change room. Students participating in after-school sports will wear clothing or equipment appropriate to that particular sport. Out of respect for all staff, students must change clothing only in the Physical Education change room. Students are not permitted to change in the hallways.

Casual days allow students to wear alternative clothing and provide a little extra time to have uniforms cleaned/repaired. Clothing worn on casual days are expected to correspond with the spiritual and moral tone of a Catholic School. Only one casual day per month is scheduled. Please see school calendar for dates. The student council collects $2.00 from students in casual clothing to sponsor school events, charities, etc.
