Information About

School Magazine




The magazine has thrived as a showpiece of original writing for children from authors in Australia, New Zealand, the US, India, the UK, and a number of Asian, Pacific and African nations.

The magazine has played and continues to play a role in fostering new talent in writing for children. In particular, it is the largest publisher of poetry for children in Australia and provides a critical resource for teachers in this notoriously difficult area. A number of children’s writers and illustrators who are now justly celebrated cut their teeth in its pages. The magazine has led the way in children’s literature on many occasions: the most recent is the graphic novel The Mostly True Story Of Matthew And Trim by Cassandra Golds and Stephen Axelsen , published by Penguin Books Australia and based on a cartoon serial published in the magazine over two years.
