I Went to a Catholic School

I went to a Catholic coed school for 12 years. The biggest difference to a public school was the school uniform. As the school was fairly new it didn't have a very strict uniform policy. In High School the regular girls uniform was white button up shirt with and a blue and green plaid skirt. The skirt was not supposed to be any higher than 3" above the knee but we often rolled them to go higher and could usually get away with having them 5" above the knee before we got a uniform infringement. We weren't supposed to wear any other colour bra than white as other colours showed through the white shirt. Shoes didn't have to be leather and the uniform shop sold black converse all stars which most of us wore. Socks had to be white and could be between ankle and knee height or we could wear stockings in winter quarters.

The boys uniform was a white shirt with khaki pants or shorts in quarters 1 and 4.

The formal uniform required a tie around the shirt and a jacket over the shirt with black leather shoes.

The PE uniform was unisex and consisted of a t shirt and gym shorts with built in mesh underwear. We weren't allowed to wear our PE Uniform to and from school and had to change in and out of PE Uniform in the Lunch breaks before and after PE. Originally the shorts didn't have the built in underwear but they changed it because too many students were doing PE without underwear under the shorts.


There was no rule for what type or colour of underwear we could wear but given the rule was for white bras/tank tops/undershorts a lot of girls wore white matching panties, in my case because that is all my parents bought me.
