UNIFORM SOLUTIONS: Recently Mr. Vanderkooy announced to the students that King’s pants would be new uniform requirement. For four years we have experimented with voluntary compliance. Although most students worked diligently within the boundaries, the experiment has failed. Next year we will also change to white T-shirts and white camisoles only. T-shirts with any logos will not be permitted.

We realize that there have been frustrations with these transitions. I am pleased to announce that Sportswear Unlimited now offers six pant types that comply with our revised policy. Each will carry the KING’S insignia just below the waist band. To ease the transition, any pant that is currently in your possession and purchased from McCarthy’s Uniforms prior to April 30, 2005 can have the KING’S insignia placed on these pants by Sportswear Unlimited. This will be done at no cost to you- it is a free service. This provides a good solution that ensures that present clothing will not go to waste. Pants requiring cresting must be clean, labeled with the student’s name and phone number. Pants to be crested will be picked up from the office by June 15 and will be delivered to the school with the new uniforms in time to be worn for the fall. Also please be aware that bursaries are available to families who need financial assistance. Please contact the school office if you have any remaining concerns. For other uniform information call Sportswear Unlimited at 905 469-0440.

Dress Code

All students are expected to dress consistently with their role and task. Students must be in uniform throughout the school day and for all school activities. The uniform must be worn to all school events, including Parent-Teacher interviews, travel & participation in school trips and to all sporting events.

• All shirts, blouses or sweaters must be completely the King’s uniform. For the buttoned garments, only two buttons may be undone. A pure white or pure grey undergarment may be worn.
• The pants and skirts must be monochrome navy blue in colour and made from cotton material. Denim, nylon, and fleece fabrics are not permitted.
• When standing tall, the skirt length must reach to within four finger widths of the top of the knee cap.
• Pants, shirts and skirts must be worn so that no skin is visible at the waist.
• Dress or sport shoes may be worn at the discretion of the student.
• No hats or hoods may be worn in the school at any time.
• You may not wear a coat or jacket to class, assemblies or morning devotions.
• King’s shorts and T-shirts must be worn for all physical education classes and for all school team activities, including practices.
• Any tints or dyes used for hair colour must be consistent with natural colours.

Infractions will be considered defiance and will be processed accordingly. In such cases, the student will purchase the required articles of clothing from the office and charged the cost accordingly.

Hats confiscated before December 1, will be returned to the owner on the day before Christmas Holidays. Hats confiscated after December 1 will be returned to the owner at the completion of the last June examination.

Informal Dress Days

The third Friday of each month will be an informal dress code day. These dates will be listed on the web-site. We continue to expect attire that reflects our desire to be respectful of self, others and God's expectations for holy living. The following alternate expectations will be in place:

• The skirt length must reach to within four finger widths of the top of the knee cap when standing tall.
• Pants, shirts and skirts must be worn so that no skin is visible at the waist.
• The clothing may not display logos that depict alcohol, drugs, or tobacco.
• The clothing may not display statements that show disrespect for self, others and God.
• The clothing may not display groups who openly show disrespect for self, others and God.
• No hats or hoods may be worn in the school at any time.

Uniform Options

A line of uniforms has been selected specifically for practical wear and easy care. There are five required elements to the uniform. Each student is required to have one of each of the following:

• oxford shirt
• golf shirt
• gym shorts
• gym T-shirt
• fleece vest

Quantities and other components are optional. We do recommend buying the fleece pants for gym in cooler weather and at least one hoodie (in ash, maroon or white). The non-hooded ash sweatshirt is for athletic wear and not intended to be part of the daily uniform. A navy wrap style skirt is available in a washable, no-iron fabric.

Choice of pants is left to the individual student’s discretion. However, pants need to be dark navy in colour and fabric that is not fleece, denim or nylon and worn at waist level.

When deciding on size, Sportswear Unlimited Plus recommends ordering larger sizes for growth. Keep in mind that the polo shirts and turtle necks are 100% cotton. There will be some shrinkage.

There is no exchange or return on ordered merchandise.
