Uniform

At West Island College, we believe that a uniform encourages a sense of WIC pride, school spirit and a sense of belonging in our students. 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 personal 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.
