Dress Code

An increasing number of public schools have adopted a dress code.  Dress codes generate a number of benefits, which should not be overlooked: 

  • It discourages trespassers on school grounds
  • It can reduce obvious socio-economic disparity amongst students 
  • It fosters a strong sense of belonging and school spirit
  • It sets a high standard for neatness and self-discipline
  • It encourages the student to focus on developing their own inner self in areas such as personality, behaviour, academic achievement, communication and other inter-personal skills.
