Our school uniform philosophy emphasizes practicality, comfort, and ease of wear for students at all grade levels. For our youngest learners in Pre-Kindergarten 3, Pre-Kindergarten 4, and Kindergarten, the daily dress code consists of neat, comfortable play clothes that children can manage independently. This includes weather-appropriate outdoor clothing to facilitate daily outdoor activities. The guidelines discourage costumes, fancy attire, and complicated clothing to ensure safety and ease, particularly in the restroom.
As students progress to Grades 1-8, the daily wear includes polos, skirts, jumpers, chinos, and school sweatshirts, maintaining a balance of formality and comfort. A distinct PE uniform is required for Grades 4-8 to ensure appropriate attire for physical activities. Dress uniforms, required on select dates, include collared button-ups, ties, blazers, and specific jumpers or skirts, fostering a sense of unity and formality on special occasions. These guidelines aim to support a conducive learning environment while accommodating the practical needs of our students.
You can find further information about school uniforms and dress code requirements on our Family Resource page and on this chart.
