Our School

Dress Code

Our school is special because it is a Catholic School and we have Christ as our example. This gives us the important responsibility of acting in a Christian manner at all times. What we wear speaks volumes and therefore we should all wear appropriate clothing to school.

  • Clothing with narrow strapped tops, crop tops or short shorts and skirts are not acceptable.

  • Hats are not to be worn inside the building.

  • The length of shorts should be above the knee for all Grade 4 to 8 students.

  • St. James Catholic School has a no-makeup policy for all students.
