School Uniform Reminder Letter
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I want to take this opportunity to remind you of some key parts of our uniform policy. The intention of this is to avoid unnecessary confrontations at the start of the new school year with students returning to school in late August not dressed in accordance with our school uniform policy.
Our Uniform Policy will be strictly enforced in this academic year and students not correctly attired for class will not be allowed to attend lessons until the issue has been fully resolved. I want to emphasise that this is absolutely the last thing we want as a school as we all place great emphasis on good attendance to school and to lessons.
For the academic year of 2020-2021, all students partaking in PE are asked to wear their PE Uniform into school for the duration of the school day. School dressing rooms will not be open to facilitate the changing from the school uniform to their PE uniform. This year we are enouraging all students to purchase the Our Lady’s College PE sweatshirt. Contents of the PE uniform is outlined below.
We are very proud of our school and of our students and believe that high standards of uniform,
behaviour, being properly equipped and attending regularly give each and every one of our
students the very best chance of learning well and achieving their very best. Thank you all very
much in advance of your anticipated support and understanding.
Information below (from our Code of behaviour) on our School Uniform for 2020
Yours sincerely
Geraldine Mulvihill
