Students Dress Code
Students are expected to be neatly dressed at all times in School. Girl’s gowns should cover their knees while
boys’ knickers should not go beyond their knees. The senior boys are not permitted to come to school in jeans or
tightly sewn trousers otherwise known as pencil. The recommended colour of shoes is black + white socks.
Shoes should be flat and not high heeled or high tops. Boots are not allowed. Shoes and socks which do not
conform will be confiscated. Students not properly dressed would be sent back home.
Parents should sew new uniforms for students annually because they are growing rapidly and old uniforms
become unsuitable for them in a new class.
