2. INTRODUCTION
A school magazine is an annual publication of a school and the
main use of it usually is to advertise the school to parents and
executives, to gloat about their talents within the school. But
on the other hand it’s a great way for students to get involved
in their school community.
It is a free magazine which is usually published once a year.
Students and teachers can also write to it, to give their own
advise or opinions. It usually contains
news, events, competitions, activities, etc.

4. THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A SCHOOL
MAGAZINE AND A MUSIC MAGAZINE
There are many differences between a music magazine and a school magazine
although it may not be obvious.
Firstly both magazines have completely different aims, while music magazines
aim to sell their product, school magazines provide the opportunity to the
students for self-expression in written form and also to act as a means of
unifying the school.
Because school magazines are usually free to the public there is no need for them
to have a bar code unlike music magazines, which stores all the data about
the magazine e.g. price, date etc.
They both have completely different audiences, therefore there attitudes are
different. School magazines are quite formal where as music magazines are
informal and are sold for entertainment uses.
