Uniform

At Our Lady Queen of the World Catholic Academy we take great pride in our dress code. Aside from its practical aspects, it gives us a sense of community within our school and a feeling of uniqueness within the larger community. All students, staff and parents are expected to know and respect our uniform dress code.

Students must wear the complete uniform all day on school days. (Bell to Bell). This means that students are required to be in uniform at all times including lunch hour and spares. The complete uniform must be worn at any school conducted function (including field trips) unless an exemption is granted by the administration.
