Uniform Policy

At Wali ul Asr School, we take great pride in our dress code. Aside from its practical aspects, it gives us a sense of community within our school. All students, staff and parents are expected to know and respect the uniform dress code.

The specifics of the common dress code are listed below:

Students must wear the complete uniform all day on school days. This means that students are required to always remain in uniform including lunch hour and spares.
The complete uniform must be worn at school-conducted events during school hours unless an exemption is granted by the administration.
School uniforms are to be worn neatly and must be ironed properly. Dress shirts should be buttoned up and tucked in, pants are to be worn at the
waist, pant legs are not to be rolled up, slit, frayed or cutoff.
