ALL STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR THE SCHOOL UNIFORM.
All uniform items must be purchased from a WRCA approved vendor; similar items purchased from other vendors are not permitted.
If any changes are made to the school uniform expectations, parents and students will have up to six months to purchase and comply with the new requirements.
With the switch to our new supplier, InSchoolwear, in June 2024, the only change to the current uniform pieces is the PE shorts. All PE shorts must match the authorized InSchoolwear PE shorts by January 2025.
Staff will be required to conduct uniform checks as directed. Students not wearing the school uniform properly will be required to purchase a proper uniform item. Additionally, students not wearing the school uniform correctly will receive the following consequences, as per the Uniform Policy 1208:
- First offence – a warning letter sent home to parents
- Second offence – the student will serve a lunch time detention
- Third offence – the student will serve an after-school detention and a meeting with parents and a principal will be required
- Fourth and subsequent offences – will be treated as a behaviour issue and the Discipline Policy 1201 will apply.
- Intentional defiant breaches of the uniform policy at any time, will be treated as a fourth offence.
The school will declare some days to be non-uniform or special dress days. Students not fully participating in these days must abide by regular uniform expectations.
