Our School

Dress Code

The uniform is one way to encourage respect, responsibility and safety in our school. It distinguishes Holy Angels Catholic School from other schools and gives our students a sense of pride. All students from Kindergarten to Grade 8 are expected to wear the Holy Angels school uniform on a daily basis. It consists of navy pants, shorts or skorts, and a clean navy or white shirt/blouse/golf-type polo shirt or t-shirt. Over-garments and pants with stripes, logos and/or words are not part of the school uniform.
