Dress Code

The uniform is one way to encourage respect, responsibility and safety in our school. It distinguishes Holy Angels Catholic School from other schools and gives our students a sense of pride. All students from Kindergarten to Grade 8 are expected to wear the Holy Angels school uniform on a daily basis. It consists of navy pants, shorts or skorts, and a clean navy or white shirt/blouse/golf-type polo shirt or t-shirt. Over-garments and pants with stripes, logos and/or words are not part of the school uniform.
