Our School

Dress Code

Wearing the Neil McNeil High School uniform is an expectation of all Neil students. The neat appearance of students contributes to the positive atmosphere in the school community in addition to its overall safety and security.

Ministry of Education regulations and Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) policies require each school community to develop a Uniform Policy which the Principal, Vice Principal, Catholic School Parent Council (CSPC) and staff are expected, by Board of Trustees to enforce strictly.

Our school policy conforms to the "Code of Dress" guidelines of the TCDSB. Minor violations related to the school uniform will be recorded. Continued violations will result in communication with parents.

Students are expected to wear the Neil McNeil uniform properly, exhibiting pride, neatness and good grooming. Adherence to the uniform guidelines will be determined by the Administration and school staff.

Civvies Days

Civvies Days are held throughout the year and organized by the Student Council. A small fee is collected from each student, with the money going to support various charities and Student Council endeavors. Students are expected to dress appropriately and in good taste.
