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.
Black Pants
- Students can purchase black pants from the Green & Gold Shop, which may be worn on
- Regular Dress and Number One Dress days, or they can purchase their own black pants.
Guidelines for pants purchased outside of the Green & Gold Shop:
- Look for black dress slacks, full length, straight-legged and hemmed at the ankle.
- Pants may or may not have pleats, a cuff, pockets and belt loops.
- If a belt is worn, it must be black and the buckle must be subtle.
- Pants may not be rolled or elastic at the ankle, flared or high-waisted. Cargo pockets
are not allowed. - Black or green socks may be worn under the pants
