Interest in what we wear/wore at St Angela's in Cork

At all times St. Angela’s students are expected to wear their uniform with pride.
The school uniform is as follows:
Green knee-length school skirt or school trousers

school blouse
school jumper
school jacket
school scarf (optional)
black opaque tights or green socks
black, low-heeled shoes (maximum heel height: 6 cms)
school tracksuit with polo shirt for PE, sport/dance/leisure classes


In all cases only the official school uniform items are allowed.

Coloured T-shirts/hooded tops/or other garments visible inside or below school blouse or jumper are not allowed.

Full school uniform must be worn for all school activities including after school study and when representing the school in any capacity.
Full school uniform must be worn en route to school and when leaving school at the end of the school day. In exceptional circumstances if a student needs to change out of uniform at the end of the school day, she must change totally into ‘civilian’ clothes.
It is strongly recommended that all students have a change of uniform. In the interest of personal hygiene and to facilitate any necessary cleaning/repairs each student should have a change of school skirt/trousers and blouse.
Students choosing to wear the school trousers should be aware that, unlike skirts, trousers are not made for constant wear and that therefore they will require at least two.
Students should see to it each night that their uniform is in a fit condition to be worn to school the next day. PE gear is not an acceptable alternative.
Notes re spillages, broken zips, ripped buttons, hems in need of mending or uniform left in other people’s houses are not acceptable.
Shoes must be plain black and low-heeled. For health and safety reasons heels must be no higher than 6 cms. Students are not permitted to wear clogs, platforms, slingbacks, sandals or runners or boots of any kind.
If for medical reasons alternative footwear needs to be worn, a note from parents/guardian to that effect must be bought and countersigned by the Principal/Deputy Principal. When a student is allowed to wear runners for medical reasons she must wear skirt/trousers as usual, not tracksuit bottoms.
Large or inappropriate items of jewellery must not be worn while in school uniform.
Students may not wear facial studs, nor is any other form of body piercing permitted on health and safety grounds.
Only discreet make-up and clear nail varnish may be worn. Students are not permitted to apply make-up in school.
Sports Uniform
Full school tracksuit and polo shirt must be worn for all PE classes.
Students must change back into uniform immediately after PE/Drama/Dance/Leisure etc. except where this class is the last period of the day.
Fourth and Fifth Years must change into navy tracksuit pants and school polo shirt for Sport/Dance/Yoga/Drama etc.
Members of a school sports team may come to school in their school tracksuit onlyif they have to leave for a match before the 10.55 break. If they are scheduled to return to school for class after a match they must change back into their uniform.
Students should mark their name clearly on all uniform items.
