St. Boniface Blue and White Dress Code

The Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) has mandated that all elementary children wear blue and white. St. Boniface supports this initiative and has made every effort to provide the most cost effective provider. There are many noted advantages to implementing an Appropriate Dress Code.

  • Promotes school safety.

  • Promotes inclusiveness and equality, and helps to reduce social conflict.

  • Encourages students to focus on academics rather than their wardrobe.

  • Promotes the Catholic school identity.

  • Simplifies morning routine for students and parents.

  • Is economical, and gives parents choice and flexibility.

  • Provides consistency in dress code policy at the elementary and secondary level.

  • Eases transition from elementary school to secondary school, as students will already be accustomed to the uniformity of dress.

The St. Boniface Blue and White Clothing Sale takes place each year, during which blue and white clothing including the school crest will be sold.

Dress Code in TCDSB Schools

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

All Secondary schools within the jurisdiction of the Board shall adopt a 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.
