After numerous discussions with parents and trustees and extensive research by the Beacon Parents Association we pleased to announce the following changes for the Beacon School daily and PE uniforms. The changes will address a range of long standing problems and will also be less costly. They will be locally available and will therefore reduce our carbon footprint. The order forms will be emailed and posted on the school webpage June 15 and order forms can then be submitted to the school beginning June 21.
For MYP Students
The required MYP girls daily uniform will be a short sleeved, light blue chambray, oxford cloth blouse available in standard sizes and a knee length skort. They will come with a Beacon patch on the front pocket. No tailoring is required.
The required MYP boys uniform will be a short sleeved, light blue chambray, oxford cloth shirt available in standard sizes. They will come with a Beacon patch on the front pocket. The current trousers can be worn or a new, better quality, trouser will also be available for ordering.
For PYP Students
PYP daily school uniforms will NOT change for the 2010 -2011 school year. We believe we have adequate stock of shirt fabric remaining to meet all the needs of the PYP students for the year.
The new short sleeved, light blue chambray, oxford cloth blouse/shirt will be required in 2011-2012.
Physical Education Uniforms
As previously announced Beacon has entered an agreement with Adidas for the supply of a much needed new Physical Education uniform. Unfortunately Adidas's ordering, production and delivery timelines mean they will not be available until November. We will continue to use the current house colour T - shirts and are trying to find a local supplier of better shorts for those students who need them. We apologize for the inconvenience and will put in place measures to make the transition to the new PE uniform as smooth as possible.
All PYP and MYP Students will be required to have 1 Field Trip polo shirt.
Shoes
While in the past we required all students to wear black leather shoes this has proven to be less than practical. Students must wear black shoes but running/athletic shoes that are black (or have black as the "dominant" colour) are acceptable.
