Dress Code

We believe that the St. Michael Catholic Academy uniform:

  • fosters a sense of unity, belonging and pride in the students and school community
  • offers convenience for students and their parents
  • provides an attractive, practical and comfortable style of clothing for the students.
  • assists with identification and security at school and on excursions

All Instrumental Bands

The Bands (Beginner Band, Junior Band, Intermediate Band and Wind Ensemble) represent St. Michael Catholic Academy during every concert, competition and festival. Performance is a combination of different aspects and the visual impression that a group makes on the audience sends a message of unity. It is expected that all students come in full band uniform for every performance and that they come fully prepared (music binders, cleaned instruments).
