School Uniform

Lester B. Pearson High School has a school uniform, in order for all students to be dressed professionally. The uniform must be worn as of the first day of school, during all outings and field trips unless otherwise specified by the school administration. The school uniform has been approved by the Governing Board.  

Uniform garments should be purchased from the school's recommended supplier. Fitting sessions are scheduled annually to provide parents the opportunity to have your child fitted and to complete the ordering of uniform garments.

Spirit Tees, Hoodies and Crewnecks may be purchased from Student Council and worn on Fridays. 

The following items are considered part of the uniform:

The uniform must be worn by all students each day unless the school day has been declared a non-uniform day by the administration. All students must wear the school uniform as outlined below.

Only the following items are permitted:

• Navy blue pants (no shorts permitted outside of the Phys. Ed. classes)
• Royal blue or white polo shirt, short or long sleeved, collar down
• White LBP turtleneck
• Navy blue V-neck
• Zip-up sweater
• Flat shoes appropriate for school
• Only a plain short-sleeved white or black t-shirt OR long-sleeved black or white t-shirt may be worn under the blue LBP polo.

Please note that Graduation apparel (hoodie, short/long sleeved t-shirt) for secondary 5 students may be worn at a date determined by the Administration. This LBP tradition is a privilege which may be denied at any time by the Administration, as a result of a violation of the Code of Conduct by any individual or group.

The following items and accessories are not permitted:

• Both the pant hems and polo sleeves should not be rolled since this is considered altering the uniform.
• Tights, shorts, or other clothing items are not encouraged to be worn underneath school pants.
• Caps, bandanas, or any headgear are not permitted in school.
• Non-school uniform sweaters/hoodies, outdoor jackets/coats are only to be worn when entering and exiting the building. They are not to be worn in the classroom, nor during recess nor at lunch while in the building.

Please note that students must be in full uniform as they enter the school, leave the school and in order to board the express buses. 

Students biking to school may receive special permission from their Vice-Principal to change once on the premises.

Non-Uniform Days and Overnight Trips:

School activities where students are permitted to be out of uniform are a privilege that we want all students to enjoy.

These guidelines are necessary to ensure that students are dressed appropriately and that the school remains an environment that is conducive to learning. Non-Uniform Days do not apply for Physical Education and Dance classes, where the LBPHS athletic clothing must always be worn.

The following dress code will be in effect during Non-Uniform Days and Overnight Trips:

• Shorts, skirts and dresses must be “mid-thigh” in length or longer.
• Tops may not expose stomachs or backs. Sleeveless shirts are forbidden.
• Pants must be worn at the waist or hip level.
• Pants may not have see-thru mesh.
• Frayed clothing such as jeans ripped at the knees and / or ankles is acceptable; overly distressed clothing might be deemed unacceptable.
• Clothing cannot have unacceptable slogans, logos, or suggestive images.
• No revealing of undergarments.
• No headgear (i.e., hats, caps, full bandanas, covering head with hood etc...) except for headgear worn for religious reasons.
• No sleepwear (Unless otherwise specified)
• No open-toe shoes, flipflops or winter boots.

Please note that this list is not exhaustive, and that the appropriateness of student attire will be determined by the staff of the school. If you are not sure if your outfit breaks the School Dress Code - bring substitute clothing, just in
