UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS

At GCA, we have both "official" uniform items, and "casual" uniform items. Every Monday is an "official uniform" day. All of our uniform pieces are to be purchased at Top Marks. During the school year, Top Marks has "fit days" where they will come to the school and you can have your student measured for uniform items. Download our Top Marks Uniform Order Package.

JK students are welcome to wear any type of shoes with non-marking soles; black shoes are not required. ​ All Kindergarten students are to have black running-type shoes that are slip-on and/or have velcro closure. These shoes must have non-marking soles. We do not allow other types of shoes to be worn as the Kindergarten students do not change into gym shoes for gym class. These shoes will be left at school to be worn when in class. Once students are in Grade 1, they will have a pair of black shoes to wear during the day and a pair of running shoes (any colour with non-marking soles) for gym class. Elementary Indoor Uniform Shoes should be solid black shoes. These are worn while attending classes as part of their daily uniform. We do allow for a small amount of white on the shoe (no other colours), but ask that it is limited to a small logo or the mid-sole (so long as it's not too thick). Gym shoes may be any colour or pattern as long as they have non-marking soles. Please label both pairs of shoes with your child's first and last name. Please use the guide below as a reference when purchasing indoor shoes.

Junior High Indoor Uniform Shoes should be solid black shoes. These are worn while attending classes as part of their daily uniform. We do allow for a small amount of white on the shoe (no other colours), but ask that it is limited to a small logo or the mid-sole (so long as it's not too thick) and no white toe-caps. Black or white laces are allowed. Gym shoes may be any colour or pattern so long as they have non-marking soles. Please use the guide below as a reference when purchasing indoor shoes.
