Our School
Dress Code
As a Catholic School, we have Christ as our example, which gives us the important responsibility of acting in a Christian manner at all times. What we wear speaks volumes, and we therefore require students to 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 students from Grades 4 to 8. If leggings are worn under a short skirt or shorts, the skirt or shorts must be of an appropriate and acceptable length. St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School also has a no makeup policy for all students.
