Gently Used Uniforms - Support HSC!

Donating Your Uniforms

Did you know the HSC Parents' Guild organizes several gently used uniform sales throughout the school year? It's a fantastic way to find affordable uniform pieces, and the best part is that all proceeds go directly back into the College through various fundraising initiatives. Sales are held in the PG portable, adjacent to the buses and the Strathallan building. Keep an eye on your email for upcoming sale dates!

To ensure the safety and wellbeing of our community, we kindly ask that all HSC uniform pieces be donated or sold only through the College. If you have uniform items you no longer need, please bring them to the Campus Store and deposit them in the purple bin located just inside the doors.

Conversely, Winter Dress is in effect from November 1 to March 31, requiring students to adhere to the uniform guidelines appropriate for the colder weather. We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring students comply with these seasonal dress requirements.

Summer Dress September 1 – October 31 April 1 – June 30

Winter Dress November 1 – March 31

Respect. Integrity. Community. Individuality. Determination. Our core mission is to develop joyful and engaged students who live life with purpose. The best learning happens when students are happy to come to school, have opportunities to follow their passions, and participate in deep learning experiences that challenge them. Joyful, engaged students develop strong relationships with their peers and with the caring adults who spark and support their learning both inside the classroom and beyond. Their journey at HSC prepares students to live with purpose—to understand their world, inspire, lead, act, and make a difference in their own unique ways.
