Here at Barnashrone NS we understand that your child will sometimes need to miss school.

We ask that at these times you call, email or send in a note to tell us why as we must keep a record of this.

Uniform
Here in Barnashrone NS we have never had a school uniform.
The matter of uniforms has been raised over the years and has even been voted on by the parent body who have never voted to change.
​
Although there is no uniform demanded, children should be neatly and appropriately dressed and have their hair tidy. Clothes should be practical and comfortable for children to work and play in. Tracksuits and other comfortable clothing are chosen by most.
