Wearing the St. Benedict uniform properly and with respect demonstrates “pride and dignity for all”.  Students attending St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School are expected to wear the school uniform during the entire school day — including lunch and spares — and to abide by the established uniform regulations.

The uniform supports the culture of a safe school as it is a sign of belonging to the St. Benedict community.

Excursions and uniform policy

Students are expected to be in full uniform for excursions that take place during the school day, unless otherwise specified by your classroom teacher.

Spirit wear Wednesdays

Spirit wear days occur every Wednesday.  Spirit wear is defined as a St. Benedict approved club, team or event shirts that has the words “St. Benedict” or “Saints” or the school or WCDSB logo on them.  Spirit wear shirts must be worn with regular uniform pants, capris, or shorts.

Civvies Days

Several times a year, mainly as charity fundraisers, students are permitted to wear non-uniform clothing to class.  This clothing should be neat, tidy and in good taste, making for a positive learning environment.

Students will be asked to remove or cover shirts with slogans or images inappropriate for a Catholic school learning environment.
