UNIFORM

Daily Uniform Expectations

Students are expected to wear the school uniform correctly at all times. Shirts are to be tucked in and shoes polished. Kilts must be hemmed to an appropriate and respectful length (9 cm above the knee) and socks must be pulled up. Shoes must be tied. Non-uniform items may not be worn in the school during school hours. School uniforms must be clean and tidy.

General Appearance

Wearing the school uniform well and with pride signals to our community that we are a learning community that values integrity, inquiry, compassion and courage. What follows are guidelines about our student’s general appearance that stand in relation to grade- and school-specific uniform expectations. In these matters, we expect the co-operation and support of parents. Jewelry and Make-Up ● Upper School students may wear subtle jewelry and makeup. ● No makeup is permitted in the Junior School. ● Nail polish is permitted (Junior and Upper Schools). No acrylic or “bio-gels” permitted in the Junior School. ● A small stud or small ring may be worn in the nose, and studs, small hoops (the size of a quarter) or small drop earrings may be worn in the ears. ● Other skin piercings (eyebrows, lip, tops of ears, etc.) should not be visible. ● Hair should be a natural colour for Junior School students.

Kilts and Tunics

● Kilts and tunics must not be shorter than 9 cm above the knee with the waistband positioned on the student’s natural waist.
