What to Wear (Uniforms + More)

Why Uniforms?

HCA students have worn uniforms since 1998. 
Grade 1 - 12 students wear uniforms. Kindergarten students do not.

A reminder that by choosing HCA, you choose to support our uniform guidelines.

We believe that uniforms are valuable for our school community for a number of reasons:
  • Demonstrate respect
  • Create unity
  • Build identity and association with HCA
  • Presents a modest and well-dressed appearance regardless of family income or fashion trends

What are the uniform pieces at HCA?

HCA uses a Uniform Collection which allows students to mix-and-match for everyday uniforms using a variety of pieces and combinations.

Uniform Guidelines 

Tops must be purchased through top Marks and have the Heritage embroidery or crest.

For the girls uniform, a tartan tunic/dress (Gr 1-6) and a tartan or black kilt (Gr 7-12) is available exclusively through Top Marks.

All other bottom pieces ie. pants, shorts, or skorts (for Gr 1-6 girls) must be black cotton twill uniform style and can be purchased through Top Marks or from other retailers. We suggest Old Navy, Gap, Walmart, Banana Republic, or Children's Place as alternate retailers.

All students are to wear black socks and solid black shoes.

Where to Get Uniform Pieces

New uniform pieces can be ordered through Top Marks - HCA's uniform supplier. Basic black pieces may be purchased from various retailers in addition to Top Marks, but all tops (polo shirts, hoodies, sweaters, etc.) must be purchased exclusively from Top Marks.
