DRESS CODE PHILOSOPHY
• Dressing up for school reflects a positive image of our uniqueness and lends dignity to our most important task at school - teaching and learning.
• It allows us to recognize the demands of society regarding professional dress and makes a distinction between work and recreational activities.
• The dress code reflects modest standards.
