Essay on The School Magazine for Students and Children

The school magazine is an annual publication of the school, mostly written and contributed to by the students. It is generally published once a year. It is a forum through which our juvenile learners can express their ideas about thinking and writing. Almost all aspects of the school are reflected in it. It is an important milestone in the progress and prospect of a school. 

A school magazine is really a product of collective efforts. To conduct the work of publication, first a magazine committee is formed with the headmaster as the chairman. The committee generally consists of nine members. A senior teacher is selected by the headmaster from among the teachers to act as the chief editor. Two senior students are also elected from among the students to act as sub-editors. Some other students and teachers are also included in the committee and entrusted with the task of bringing out the magazine in due course. 

The editor first invites writing from the students and the teachers for the magazine. After proper scrutiny of the collected writings, the editor selects the best ones and, after editing, sends them to the press for printing. A school magazine generally contains poems, short stories, essays, one-act plays, verses, jokes, riddles, and other writings relating to games, sports, and cultural activities of the school. 

The school magazine offers our young learners the opportunity to expose their hidden potential. It helps and inspires them to develop their latent faculties as well as their powers of thinking and writing. It is an actual forum for a student to be a great writer and literary genius in the future. 

The school magazine is in fact a mirror of the school, through which the total picture of the school can be seen at a glance. The academic progress as well as co-curricular activities of a school can be brought to the notice of the people through it.
