Uniform Code

We are currently updating our webpage. The school uniform has changed. Shop the new uniform on the Nativity Flynn O’Hara website.

The dress code provides a standard for our students, which fosters an environment conducive to learning and respectful behavior. Final decisions regarding the school uniform rest with the principal/administration.
