“Making your child feel welcome”

Uniform

A school uniform helps students identify with their school and assists with the development of a corporate spirit and a pride in themselves and the school.  It also performs a valuable role by projecting a positive image to the community.

Every student is expected to wear the correct uniform at all times.

Any uniform variations in relation to gender identity and expression in accordance with the Human Rights Act, may be negotiated with the Principal.

Uniforms can be purchased online with ArgyleOnline.
