A school uniform or a school dress code promotes a safe and positive learning environment, that reflects the distinctively Catholic teachings in our schools.

Elementary School Uniforms

The Halton Catholic District School Board encourages the adoption of a School Uniform Dress Code in our elementary schools, providing a sense of belonging for all students.

There is a voting process that takes place at each individual elementary school, at least once, to determine whether the elementary school community will adopt a School Uniform.

All elementary schools are required to adopt either a School Uniform or a School Dress Code, in keeping with the Board's Mission Statement, governing values and Catholic social teachings. More information can be found in Policy II-41 - School Uniform Dress Code/School Dress Code​.

Secondary School Uniforms

The Board requires the adoption and implementation of a School Uniform in each secondary school, recognizing the shared responsibility for meeting the expectations of the School Uniform Dress Code. More information can be found in Policy II-41 - School Uniform Dress Code/School Dress Code​
