The Uniform Policy is rooted in a desire to create and promote a learning environment where attire is not a distraction to the educational process. Therefore, students are required to adhere to this policy while attending All Saints Academy This policy is based on the following principles:
Clothing historically calls attention to the role someone has in society (eg, law enforcement, firefighters, medical professionals, clergy, athletes, military). School uniforms are a visual reminder of the purpose of students – to learn Clothing choices are not neutral and have often been used as a way of distinguishing people (eg, socio-economics, name brands, preferences) Uniforms remove the distraction While clothing is often considered a means of personal expression, uniforms remind students that their primary expression comes from character choices rather than clothing choices
Uniforms engender a sense of common identity and goals. Whether in Primary Prep or Secondary, the students are part of a community that strives together
OTHER BENEFITS OF UNIFORMS
Uniforms can save time by limiting morning choices for kids.
Uniforms should save families money by de-emphasizing the social impact of clothing Uniforms provide a safe environment by allowing staff to identify non-students easily and quickly (either on- or off-campus)
