St Matthew High School Uniform
Top Marks is our uniform supplier. All information regarding sizing, purchasing, and shipping can be found on the form or the Top Marks website. Orders placed prior to June 30th, 2021 have been guaranteed delivery before September.
Our NU2U, gently used uniform shop will not be offering regular sale hours due to Ottawa Public Health guidelines for schools at this time. If you are in need of used uniforms, please email matthew.high@ocsb.ca and your child's vice principal will assist you. Please understand we often have a low number of common sizes. We do hope to have our NU2U shop up and running in the new year. ***We are accepting donations of gently used uniforms on from June 21st - June 23rd, 2021.
Tiger Hoodies will also be sold in Fall 2021 through our Phys-Ed department. We do not sell hoodies or school clothing on any other website, and these items will not be accepted as school uniform attire. If you are unsure, please contact the school to avoid purchasing a non-uniform item. We often have extra hoodies for sale, once the fall order has been received.
St Matthew Rugby Shirts will also be sold from Top Marks as a special order in the new year. This is a new uniform item, and we will notify parents when this item will be available for purchase. The Rugby Shirt is not on our current order form.
If you have any special sizing considerations especially for students with special needs, Top Marks will be more than happy to answer your questions. You are welcome to contact Lisa at info@topmarks.ca or call the toll free number 1-800-667-7105.
