Dress Code

Students must arrive and leave school in full uniform. Uniforms must be worn throughout the school day, including during lunch periods.

A neat and consistent appearance contributes to a respectful and safe school environment. Our uniform policy aligns with the Toronto Catholic District School Board’s dress code and is mandatory.

Students not in full uniform may be sent home. The school will attempt to contact parents or guardians. Students aged 16 and older may be sent home even if contact is unsuccessful.

If a student cannot wear part of the uniform due to an emergency, a parent or guardian must provide a note or call the school. Long-term exceptions for footwear require a medical note.

Minor uniform violations will be recorded. Repeated infractions may result in detention, suspension, or community service.
