Uniform Guidelines

At Wellington Hills Christian College, our uniform is an important part of who we are as a school. Excellence is one of our values and a visual way to demonstrate that is to wear our uniforms with pride. Let’s all do that from day one.

If a student needs to wear something that’s not part of the official uniform, please send a signed note from a parent, or email the office, explaining the situation. Our goal is to make sure that students are always looking sharp and reflecting the high standards set by the Board of Trustees. Thank you in advance for your support.
