The school uniform helps our children to bond and encourages a sense of belonging to St. Olcan’s P.S.

Our uniform consists of a green sweatshirt with the school logo, a red polo shirt and either grey skirt or grey trousers. During the third term either a green and white checked dress or knee length grey school shorts can be worn. Girls can if they wish wear a pair of shorts under their skirt during physical activities. The school sweatshirt is supplied by Stewarts, Ballycastle, and can be ordered via a portal which is open from the end of May until the first week in July.

It is extremely important that every item of your child’s clothing and any coats, are clearly labelled with their name. Names on clothing makes life easier for the children and the staff and we encourage all parents to clearly and permanently label every item of clothing that the child will bring to school, including coats and schoolbags.

We ask all children to wear trainer footwear for PE to help us ensure the health and safety of all pupils. For younger children, trainers with Velcro are strongly recommended. If your child’s trainers have laces please double knot them before they come to school. It is also strongly recommended that long hair is tied back especially during P.E.

Jewellery
Children are discouraged from wearing jewellery to school on the grounds of safety. If children’s ears are pierced then they should wear stud earrings only.

The school actively promotes and encourages the wearing of uniform and ask for your help and support by ensuring that your child is always in uniform.
