The official dress code of All Saints Catholic Secondary School is a result of discussion with faculty, students, parent council and administration. Our school uniform is compulsory. All students are to wear the uniform during the school day. The school colours are navy blue, maroon and silver. All Dress Code infractions will be addressed with discretion and respect.
Students can purchase their uniform at McCarthy School Uniforms or at our annual used school uniform sales.
