20TH JAN 2012

Today as part of our research into our preliminary project we got three different focus groups in to see what they would want in a school magazine.


YEAR 7

  • particularly wanted celebrities on the cover, for example all agreed on 'One Direction' and then included inside, pictures and interviews
  • they wanted feedback from council meetings
  • upcoming events in the school and local areas
  • achievements from things like sport
  • a free gift for example house points, vouchers for the canteen
  • a timetable of revision sessions
  • horoscopes
  • games
  • agony aunt
  • competitions 
  • a new magazine once a month
  • the canteen menu and an opportunity to write in with new suggestions
  • the colours to be seasonal
STAFF
  • they wanted information about students opinions and things they want and have created
  • house reports
  • the magazine to be published once a short term
  • theme each addition
  • teacher interviews
  • a problem page
  • the school colours to be the main colour theme
  • hard hitting stories about the school area
  • education stories, things in the news that will be affecting the school
  • polls and opinions
  • light hearted stories
  • teacher comic strip
  • letters page
  • events upcoming in the school and local area
  • house colours down the side of the page
  • a lower and upper school section
MALE SIXTH FORM STUDENTS
  • in the words of the sixth formers a "fit bird" on the cover
  • attractive people on the front
  • a fashion page
  • gossip column 
  • bold colours, but not the school colours
  • to be published once a fortnight
  • whats on in the canteen and again offer vouchers
  • football scores and reviews from the school team
  • a comment page
  • agony aunt, eg Dear Derdrie 
  • a cartoon with a moral 
  • events coming up in the school and local area
  • music/game/film reviews
  • discounts
The points in bold are the ones all focus groups suggested and so are the things that should most probably be included in the magazine.
