Uniform

When students wear a school uniform, they feel included in our school community. Learn about our uniform and where to buy it.

Bossley Park High School Uniform Policy Rationale:

A uniform dress code reinforces students' pride in their own appearance, instills recognition of themselves as an integral part of the school community, and assists in developing pride in representing their school. Issues of equality, expense, and health and safety are also factors that contribute to the establishment of the Uniform Policy.
