By September, all four high schools within the Catholic board will have uniforms. St. Peter's in Peterborough already has them. Holy Cross in Peterborough, St. Mary's in Cobourg and St. Stephen's will bring in uniforms next school year. "Research shows that uniforms arc very beneficial beneficial in building a community community in the school and developing school spirit," says Rush-Jcancs. "It also levels the playing playing field. There's no more competition to strive to have the 'in' things. Everybody-wears the same standard clothing." Although the exact wardrobe items will depend on the company that gels the tender, the St. Stephen's uniforms will likely include kilts for girls, pants for both boys and girls, dress shirts, v- ncck pullovers, cardigans, zip polos, black dress shoes, and knee socks or tights for girls. Cost is yet to be determined, determined, but school officials point out that the uniforms should last from grade 9 through 12. Parents may find it a relief from the burden of forking out high prices for name brand clothing each year, says Rush-Jcancs "Uniforms are also a way to ensure security. It's a way to instantly identify anyone who shouldn't be in the school." she says. "It may sound silly when you're dealing with two or three hundred students, since you already know the faces. But, as the population population begins to grow over 500, that starts to become more difficult." St. Stephen's, which has leased property on Concession Street for the past several years, will finally have its very own facility in north Bowmanville this fall. Officials expect an enroll ment of about 700 when it opens. School Board Trustee Joe Neal doubts the introduction introduction of uniforms at the high school level would steer Catholic teens to the public school system. "I went to a high school where you had to wear a jacket and a tie. It made us feel distinctive." It's possible the school community may even start talking about this (uniforms) (uniforms) at the elementary level, he adds "but that is something school councils would have to decide." 0 W I N G J A D E I B A R B T E P E E A W E D A L 1 E T A S T Y P A R S O N A G E O N O S L A Y w A 1 S T D E A N ■ K N W H I R R s ■ E N D E A R E D O A S I 8 ■ G R E E T A A A W R A Pj ■ D A R E S S 1 G N E T A ■ M A Z E S M U S E D D E C E I V E D F 1 N E R Y S L E D G U N S P I E T A E R N E D E L A D V A N T A G E 1 R H O D E T O I T 1 W H 0 A A 1 D E S E L L E 0 A S T L E O N S Answers to Saturday's Clarinaton/Courtice Independent Crossword Puzzle Many styles to choose from 72" BUFFET AND HUTCH 4 Door Model - Bevelled glass doors -Three lights . ^ - Dovetail drawers front and back Reg.|&79s3a gale *2395.00 m: ,i "We build furniture to last a lifetime" •H=i=*acii,.-miiu 5 Mcd THE OLD OAK TREE Solid Oak Furniture Factory Outlet 4041 Hwy. 28, Port Hope, Just 4 km North of the 401 905-885-7792 OPEN TO THE PUBLIC 7 DAYS A WEEK CITATION SERIES WASHERS AND DRYERS THAT TEAM UP TO TACKLE THE TOUGHEST CHORE OF ALL - LAUNDRY!
