Why matching hoodies are a simple safety win for school ski trips
Time to read
An area at the top of every teacher’s mind when planning a ski trip is safety. Safety is at the top of every teacher’s mind when planning a ski trip, and there’s a lot riding on getting it right. However, SkiBound supports schools through every stage of their ski trip, from planning to the flight back home. We’ve learnt some handy tips along the way, to make your ski trip as smooth as possible. When prioritising safety, we always recommend adding on personalised hoodies to any trip.
Tee Tree Hoodies
We’ve partnered with Tee Tree hoodies for over 12 years, producing colourful, eye-catching hoodies for our SkiBound groups to wear. With a variety of colour options, ski-themed designs and options for personalisation, they make a great souvenir for any ski trip. Additionally, teachers find they create an added layer of piece of mind, not just fashionable memorabilia.
Safety
With all students wearing a brightly coloured hoodie, teachers can easily spot students who have wandered off in busy areas. During transfer days, there can be a lot going on, and having students all wear the same item of clothing makes it easier for teachers to keep track of the group.
Beyond helping teachers, the hoodies help the public spot a student who’s become separated from the group. If a student ends up lost, or wandered too far away from the group, they stand out in a crowd. Not only will the student stand out from the rest of the public, but with the ski-themed design on the back, along with the school’s name, it’s clear to the public that this is a student on their own.
A student who’s become separated from the group may be too upset to explain where they belong, but they won’t need to. With the school’s name printed clearly on the back, anyone who spots them can point them in the right direction straight away. Tea Tree’s personalisation options, including each student’s name, add another layer of reassurance on top.
Efficiency
In addition to matching hoodies introducing added safety, they can also be helpful when it comes to communication. Previous SkiBound reps have commented about how having all students wear the hoodies through an airport has resulted in security staff opening a separate queue for the school. Without the need for continuous communication, the clear signs of each student wearing a bright coloured hoodie can notify people that you are a school group and therefore try to support where they can.
