Dear Parents and Students,

We are excited to share that our updated ICS uniforms will be on display in May, both in person at the Shek Mun campus and virtually, for our community to preview!  Alongside the uniform pieces on display, prices and the ordering website will be shared at the same time. The new pieces reflect our school’s branding and colors: navy, light blue, and white.  We are moving toward a more cohesive ICS uniform design that better reflects our school's brand and creates a consistent, polished look for all students across all grade levels.

Earlier this year, we invited interested parents and students to join our Uniform Committee.  We would like to recognize these members, made up of principals from all school divisions, parents with students in all school divisions, and student representatives from both Middle and High school:  

Students: Joelle Lee (8G3), Deborah Kong (10G6), Kristobel Hung (9G3), Jasmine Chan (8G4), Jovita Lam (11G4/StuCo Rep) 

Parents: Vicki Wong, Miriam Shih, Eddie Tse, Merryl Lau (PA Rep), Jennifer Cheung (PA Chair) 

School Representatives: Hilda Wong & Erin Johnson (Co-Chairs), Keith Welch (KG & ES Principal), Will Schroeder (MS Principal), Kiel Nation (HS Principal). 

Each of these committed individuals has contributed thoughtful feedback and perspectives to help ensure the new uniforms serve our students and families well. If you have questions or comments about the uniform transition, you are welcome to reach out to any of these committee members or to the school leadership team.  We would also like to give a place for any questions you may still have regarding the new uniforms.  

Being mindful of the impact on families and the feedback shared with the Uniform Committee, there will be one full transition year for families to shift to the new uniforms.  During the 2026-27 school year, all students P1-12 can continue to wear old uniform pieces that are navy, white, or khaki.  Beginning in Fall 2027, all students will be expected to wear only the new ICS uniform items.  Please see the specifics for each of our school divisions below for the 2026-27 school year:

Secondary: 

• All new uniform items are available for purchase and may be worn. 

• Students may continue wearing current navy or white uniform shirts and navy or khaki skorts/shorts/pants for daily wear and in P.E. classes.  

• Current Merch store varsity jackets may be worn until student graduation, but new varsity jackets will be sold through Collegepro.

Elementary:

• All new uniform items are available for purchase and may be worn. 

• Students may continue wearing current white uniform shirts and navy or khaki skorts/shorts/pants for daily wear and in P.E. classes (G4-5).

• Red polo shirts will be phased out at the end of this school year (June 2026).

Kindergarten:

• Students will be required to wear the ICS school uniform beginning Fall of 2026. 

• Students may wear any already-purchased current white uniform shirts and navy or khaki skorts/shorts/pants.

• For students who are not yet able to fit into the new uniform sizing, flexibility will be provided at the Kindergarten's discretion. 

To support sustainability and responsible stewardship, Collegepro will introduce a uniform recycling program, allowing families to thoughtfully recycle older uniform items when they are no longer needed. We will share additional details as the transition approaches. In partnership with our PA and Service Learning office, we are also exploring ways to upcycle select uniform pieces. We recognize that items like the red polo shirts carry a long history within our community. Finding ways to honor this, while also embracing what lies ahead, is something we are committed to doing with care and intention.

Thank you for your partnership in this shift, as we look forward together. We are grateful to walk through this change together as a community, trusting the Lord to use even practical details like uniforms to shape a learning environment that honors Him and serves our students well.

Warm regards,

Hilda Wong, Director of External Relations
