Uniforms

Please take a moment to review our Uniform Policy:

The purpose of having a uniform in place at Powell River Christian School is to help reinforce the identity of our school and to provide a safe and modest learning environment. All uniform pieces must be purchased through the uniform providers Cambridge Uniforms and Taws Cycle & Sport Shop. No substitutions, additions, or variations from other retailers.

Uniform is to be worn each day. Students from Grades 3-9 will change into their PE clothing for PE classes. It is your responsibility to ensure that your child is wearing the correct uniform items from the supplier at the beginning of the school year. Parents are asked to label all clothing, shoes, or personal items intended for regular school use. This prevents a lot of misunderstandings when different students purchase similar items.

• Black mesh short with PRCS Logo
• Dark Grey t-shirt with PRCS Logo
• A pair of non-marking runners (may also be used for "inside shoes")

Please note that a supplement has been made to the shoe requirement for students. Although our ideal is for students to wear dark shoes, this can often be a challenge with our limited store providers. Therefore, any color shoes will be permitted so long as they are closed-toed, securely fitted, and non-marking. Boots are only allowed during outdoor learning time and for commuting to and from school.

Socks / Footwear

Girls should wear black tights or knee socks with Kilts and Tunics. Boys should wear dark-colored socks. Students should wear appropriate dark (black, brown, navy blue) footwear while on the school or school grounds. Students in elementary are expected to leave a pair of non-marking indoor shoes at the school - these shoes can be used for P.E. For hygienic and safety reasons, students will not be allowed to go about in socks bare feet. Beach footwear is not acceptable.

Student Appearance

Appropriate dress is expected of all students throughout the school day, and good grooming is equally important. It is the responsibility of both students and parents to commit to understanding and following the PRCS Uniform Policy.

A written notice to parents will be sent home with students that do not comply with the uniform requirements as set out above. After three notices, the parent will be contacted by the Principal.

The PRCS School Board is responsible for the PRCS Uniform Policy. This Policy has been approved and adopted by the PRCS School Board on November 24, 2015.
