Dress code and uniform expectations
Dressing appropriately for school and wearing the uniform correctly on uniform days is a statement that we are in a professional academic setting. It is a demonstration that we take our roles in our school seriously while helping show respect for those we encounter in our day, both inside and outside the school. Our uniform is a part of our identity and a form of pride in our school.
Students are expected to wear clothing appropriate for the school and learning environment. Every Wednesday, mass days, para-liturgies, and announced important school functions, all Immaculata students are in uniform.
