      In keeping with the Mission, Vision and Values of the Niagara Catholic District School Board and in accordance with the dress code requirements of the Safe Schools Act, all secondary schools within the Niagara Catholic District School Board will implement a secondary uniform that creates a unified sense of belonging for all students from Grades 9 to 12.

       

      This Policy acknowledges a respect for self and others by supporting each student to actively and equitably participate fully in the Catholic learning environment through the creation of safe, inclusive and accepting school climates.



       


      The secondary uniform promotes Catholic school identity, instills pride and spirit and supports the commitment of students to be visible Catholic role models of the Gospel Values and the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations in our Catholic school communities.

       



      All Niagara Catholic secondary school uniforms as defined in the Administrative Operational Procedures must be purchased through Board uniform suppliers in compliance with the Niagara Catholic Purchasing and Supply Chain Management Policy.

       



      This Policy has been developed in compliance with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Ontario Human Rights Code and the Education Statutes and Regulations of Ontario. For the purpose of this Policy, the term secondary school uniform aligns with the Education Statutes and Regulations of Ontario term dress code.


       

      The Director of Education will issue Administrative Operational Procedures  for the implementation of this policy.
