When students choose to become part of the St. Joseph’s College School (SJCS) community, they also choose to wear the school uniform properly and with pride. Students are expected to be neat and well-groomed at all times, as their overall appearance contributes to the positive atmosphere and order within the school.

Our uniform policy aligns with the guidelines of the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) and is reviewed annually by the School Council.

General Expectations

• Students must arrive at and leave school in full, proper uniform.

• All students must remain in complete uniform throughout the school day, including lunch and spare periods.

• All uniform items must be purchased from McCarthy’s and must display the SJCS logo.

• Uniform items may not be altered, changed, or personalized in any way.

• No outer clothing may be worn over or under the uniform.

• Students whose kilts are deemed too short will be asked to alter them or purchase a new one if alterations are not possible.

• Uniform pants must not be tapered, altered, or tucked in.

• Graduating students and Student Council members may wear school ties as a privilege.

Appearance and Accessories

• Excessive jewelry or accessories are not permitted.

• Only neutral-coloured headbands may be worn. Other head coverings such as scarves, bandanas, or hats are not allowed.

• Hair that is dyed or highlighted must be in a natural colour.

Civvies Days

A Civvies Day is a privilege granted at the discretion of the Administration. On these days, students may wear alternative clothing; however, attire must still be appropriate for a formal learning environment.

• All shorts, skirts, and dresses must be no shorter than the bottom of the fingers when arms are stretched straight at the sides.

• Hats, caps, bandanas, scarves, and other head coverings are not permitted.

• Clothing with inappropriate slogans or graphics is not allowed.

• Hair dye or highlights must be in natural colours.

Dress Code Compliance

• The school administration reserves the right to address all uniform-related matters.

• Students who do not comply with the uniform policy will be sent home.

• Parents/guardians will be contacted. If they are unavailable, the student will remain in the main office until contact is made.
