Participate in the Student Dress Guidelines Consultation
Student Dress Guidelines are important in providing a safe, equitable, welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone. Students have a right to express themselves, which is important to their mental health and well-being.
On October 18th 2022, HWDSB Trustees passed a motion to develop Student Dress Guidelines at the system level, meaning that individual schools will no longer have their own dress codes. The new Student Dress Guidelines for all schools will use the principles of anti-oppression, anti-racism, equity, and inclusion. Click here to view the temporary Student Dress Guidelines.
To include as many perspectives as possible, we are inviting HWDSB students, staff and community members to share their feedback on Student Dress Guidelines.
