Our Uniform

Uniform Policy

At Holy Spirit, wearing our uniform correctly displays a sense of pride in ourselves and in our community. It is expected that students wear the correct uniform and maintain a high standard of personal grooming and neatness. We ask for the cooperation of parents and guardians in this regard.

  • Uniforms must be in appropriate condition.
  • If a student has a legitimate reason for not being able to wear any item of uniform, a note is required from a parent or guardian. The note is given to the Homeroom teacher and a formal exemption is given for the time needed to meet the uniform requirements.
  • If a family is finding it difficult to provide the correct uniform due to financial hardship, they are encouraged to meet with the Principal and discuss how the school can help.
