Dress Code
The Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) has implemented a mandatory appropriate dress code, which is in effect at St. Barnabas Catholic School. Here is a review of what is acceptable wear at school:
The dress code consists of any combination of white and navy blue garments (e.g., plain white top, navy blue bottom or, navy blue top and bottom, no denim or t-shirts).
Collared shirts only. Shirts must not have any logos or graphics, including stripes.
Sweater or hoodies must be white or navy blue, including the laces, and must not have any logos or graphics, including stripes.
No school jerseys or t-shirts are permitted.
All shorts and skirts must be fingertip length or longer. Only walking shorts are permitted. No students are allowed to wear their pants low, which is known as low riding.
A change of clothing for Physical Education classes is strongly recommended for students in Grades 4 to 8. Students can wear any combination of colours for the classes, including t-shirts, shorts or school jerseys.
Dress Code in TCDSB Schools
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.
