About us

We are the for-free magazine for all grade 10-12 students in South Africa..

Our editorial line is one of providing 'edutainment'. Some good tips of how to get through and fun and tech and science and world-news and more.


We pride ourselves of having been around for 15 years now - and still being read!


We publish everything online, also on Facebook and X but we also do 4 print issues per year.


We stick to 64 pages for now, but hey - that can change.


Of course it is exciting and that is why we see a lot of high-school students writing for us. It is a chance to get to be known and have something worthwhile on the CV - while still in school.

All from BBC: In case you were in any doubt, just look at the frenzy surrounding the South Koreans' comeback.


On Saturday, the band will kick off a sold-out, 82-date world tour with a free concert in Seoul, which is expected to be attended by more than 250,000 in-person fans and will be live-streamed on Netflix to more than 190 countries.


We can only say: welcome back! Please do more music for us

Read on and see how well this can be propagated to your school perhaps?



Rethinking the degree

The love of reading

Grace Maina, the school librarian and IT support: “First and foremost, it promotes language and cognitive development,” Maina explains. “When learners are exposed early to stories and conversations, they build vocabulary, listening skills, memory, and the ability to understand. These skills later help with problem-solving and critical thinking across all subjects, not just language.”

Bridgestone is doing it!

With the aim of reducing the high rate of road crashes in South Africa, Bridgestone Southern Africa has partnered with child road safety NGO Wheel Well and the Department of Community Safety to carry out a road safety education programme in eight high schools across Gauteng and three in the North West Province
