The CGS Uniform

Is their gym t-shirt showing its age? Has your kiddo outgrown their zip-hoodie? Did you know there are two styles of gym pants? Are skirts and shorts are an option in the warmer months?

Thursday the 12th of December from 8:30am-10:00am

Why do we have a CGS uniform?

Ease for Parents:
There are so many reasons we choose to implement a uniform policy at CGS, but the one you may like the most is how it helps streamline your morning routine. When a uniform policy is in place, there is no need to guess what to wear today?… because although you have options within the CGS uniform, there is a standard and that helps when the morning routine can already be a bit busy!

Encourages Belonging and Community:
We love the strong, uniting identity that our uniform provides, although it’s about so much more than the crested logo on our shirts. It’s quite obvious that inside the school and outside, we are a community, and we hear from you, so often, about those moments where our community has come together to help, support, and encourage one another. As individuals within our CGS community, our uniform helps us to remember that we are a part of something so special – so small in the grand scheme of the world, yet we are a part of something so much bigger than simply ourselves.

Dress for Success:
As the kids dress each day, they are unconsciously preparing themselves for the work they have ahead of them that day. Uniforms are thought to contribute in a positive way to the students’ attitude and behaviour in school. We want CGS to be a welcoming place where kids love to learn and love to walk through the front doors each day. As our kids continue to form the habit of dressing appropriately for school, it helps them get in to the right state of mind to prepare for their day of exploration and learning.

So if you’d like to save a few dollars and help save the planet from more clothing items into our landfills, COME BY FRIDAY morning. Our Parent’s Association volunteers hope to see you there!

If used clothing is not your jam, there are a few AMAZING NEW items like winter coats, winter hats, full-zip hoodies and more for you to check out.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR for Thursday the 12th of December 8:30am-10:00am before the ES/JK Holiday Concert, when the CGS Store will be open again.
