Dress Code

PA Day Activities

Students are to dress according to the Appropriate Dress Code of the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB), which consists of the following:

• A navy blue pant, kilt or short - pants must be worn around the waist and kilts/shorts must be knee-length.

• A white collared polo-shirt, oxford dress shirt, or blouse, tucked in - with or without the school/board logo.

• A blue cardigan or pullover - with or without the school/board logo.

• No denim.

• No tights.

• No striped pants such as Adidas.

The last Friday of every month will be a designated Dress Down Day, on which day good sense is the criterion for acceptable dress. We rely on parents’ able judgment to send their children to school dressed appropriately for the activity. Inappropriate attire includes:

• Short shorts/skirts, bare midriffs, halter tops, cut-off tops, low cut tops or tops that are buttoned too low, shorts/pants and tops that do not meet, tank tops, spaghetti straps, sleeveless shirts that are baggy/revealing.

• Hoodies/hats/caps/bandanas/gloves/sunglasses worn inside school.

• Language and/or representations on attire that indicates gang affiliation (e.g., gang colours/bandanas), that depicts violence, profanity, racial or gender discrimination or discrimination of any kind whatsoever, or that otherwise demeans an identifiable individual or group.

• Clothing with objectionable slogans that promote attitudes and behaviours that contravene the “Guiding Principles” of the St. Anthony Catholic School, the TCDSB or the Provincial Codes of Conduct.

• Oversized jewellery such as earrings or necklaces.

• Makeup and/or body art/markings, fragrances and/or scented lotions, hair products, etc.

All Elementary schools within the jurisdiction of the Board shall adopt an Appropriate Dress Code or Uniform Dress Code.

Parents are encouraged to review the local dress code at their child’s school and to direct their questions to the principal of the school.
