School Uniform Policy & Guidelines
The Saint Theresa School uniform policy promotes discipline, decorum, and equality amongst all students. It develops and reinforces a sense of pride, both in the school and in the appearance of the individual. It also serves to limit distractions in the classroom. The Saint Theresa School uniform helps to instill in each child the recognition that he or she is an integral part of the school community, while also enhancing the positive image of Saint Theresa School in the wider community. Saint Paul writes in 1 Corinthians that the “body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.” With this understanding, Saint Theresa School seeks to foster the Christian virtues of modesty, obedience, responsibility, and orderliness through the implementation of this uniform policy.
