Annual days and sports days are the biggest events on a school calendar, and matching T-shirts make students, teachers and volunteers look like one team. Here is how schools can plan a smooth order.
House T-shirts
Use the same design in each house colour – red, blue, green, yellow are classic. Print the house name on the back and the school name on the front. Bright, solid colours read well on the field and in photos.
Pick the right fabric
- Dri-fit polyester – light and quick-drying for sports day races.
- Cotton – comfortable for annual day, assemblies and staff.
Sizing by class
Ask class teachers to collect sizes using a kids' size chart. Younger classes need kids' sizes; senior classes and staff usually need adult S–XL. Keep a small buffer per house for new admissions and swaps.
Don't forget the adults
Separate-colour T-shirts for teachers, volunteers and the PTA make coordination easier on the day.
Timeline
Printed T-shirts typically take 10–15 working days after artwork approval. Start 4–5 weeks before the event to allow for size collection across classes.
