At West Island College, we believe that a uniform encourages students to recognize each other for whom they are and not whom they appear to be. The policy also allows the community at large to recognize our students as a group of young people who share a common ideal and goal: “The Pursuit of Excellence”.
All students are expected to arrive and depart from school wearing the school uniform. Students will wear the uniform, at all times, while in school.
Due to the unprecedented nature of COVID-19 and the resulting social distancing guidelines, Top Marks (our uniform supplier) is unable to proceed with our traditional fitting sessions. In addition, their showroom is temporarily closed. In order to better serve you, Top Marks is providing the following, on all orders received no later than June 30, 2020 :
● Free shipping
● Pre-paid return label
● Return shipping bag
Top Marks is asking for your cooperation in submitting orders by June 30, 2020, in order to guarantee delivery of your order, prior to the start of the school year.
