Welcome to The School Magazine
The School Magazine is Australia's leading literary magazine for students, with a distinguished 90-year history of providing an engaging, quality reading experience with a strong Australian flavour and absolutely no advertising.
Each month of the school year the Magazine provides a diverse mix of short stories, poems, plays, Indigenous tales, fables, nonfiction articles, puzzles, cartoons and activities, all illustrated by leading Australian artists. With four separate titles for different age and ability levels, the Magazine caters for children from early independent readers to advanced primary school readers.
The Magazine can be used in the classroom, along with the teaching units, as a resource for teaching reading and related literacy across key learning areas.
