Uniform

Coláiste Oiriall operates a strict uniform policy. Students are expected to be in full uniform while on the school premises and coming to and from school. A neatly worn uniform greatly enhances the image of a school. Our uniform is:

Maroon V neck jumper (70% acrylic and 30% wool) with school logo (€35)
Black bootleg trousers or straight skirt with pleat in back for girls (€30)
Black polyester/viscose trousers for boys (€30)
Cream shirt (€7.50) or blouse (€8.50)
Tie – maroon base with narrow cream and black alternate stripes (€7.50)
Official black school rainproof, lined jacket with school logo (€35)
Black shoes and black socks or tights for girls
Black scarf (only scarf permitted but optional)

Official school shell tracksuit including polo shirt and school logo (€70) will be available to the students in the school in September. While this may appear expensive, a tracksuit should be sufficient for three years if students initially chose their size carefully.

The uniform is available in the Fabric Centre, 15 Park Street, Monaghan (Tel. 047 82062) – near roundabout/opposite St. Joseph’s Church.
