Presentation is important as students are representing themselves, their family and their school. As the body reflects the soul, so one’s dress reflects one’s attitudes. Modesty is crucial in the dress of each student: dressing with dignity is uplifting, it encourages growth in virtue and character, and prepares the student to engage in the noble activity of liberal education. As such, students are always neat, clean, and well-groomed while at school and at all school-related functions. At all school events, it is important that students keep in mind that they serve as ambassadors of Regina Pacis Academy in the larger community.
From a philosophical perspective, a uniform is what unites us all as learners. Wearing a uniform, we can focus on each other’s ideas, without the distractions of each other’s differences in clothing, hair color and style, or jewelry. Adherence to the Uniform Code also vocalizes a student’s obedience and docility to the discipline of the school, two very important virtues in the lives of our young people.
One of the distinctive features of Regina Pacis Academy is our school uniform. It distinguishes us not only from public schools, where children often wear no uniform, but also from other Catholic schools which perhaps have more informal, casual uniform options.
