Student media

School Life

Your school’s own public site for student work, news, and media. Students create, your staff review, and the site takes care of the design. We customize it to fit your school’s needs.

The School Life home page, with the morning bulletin, weekly news, and what’s coming up at school.

What your school can publish

Everything sits on one public website, and anyone can read it without signing in.

The events page, with upcoming and past events and buttons to add them to a calendar.
  • Student articles

    Students write in a simple editor, in Arabic or English.

  • Student work

    Projects, art, and reports go up as pictures, PDFs, videos, or slides you can read on the page.

  • Morning bulletin

    An audio bulletin each morning, ready to play from the home page.

  • Weekly news

    A filmed news bulletin each week.

  • Podcasts

    Programmes with audio or video episodes.

  • Newsletter

    Upload the PDF and readers turn through it page by page on the site.

  • Events

    What’s coming up at school, with a calendar families can subscribe to.

  • School stories

    Stories, photos, and video from across the school.

  • Achievements

    Celebrate what students and teams have achieved.

Every student credited on a piece gets a public page that gathers all their work.

The site looks after itself

You add the content, and the site handles the rest.

A student article page with its cover, title, and credits.
  • A home page that builds itself

    New work appears on the home page without anyone arranging it.

  • No design work

    Covers, thumbnails, and page layouts are taken care of.

  • Easy to find

    Search the whole site, with pages ready for search engines and sharing.

  • Easy to share

    Share any piece by WhatsApp, by link, or from your phone.

For students

Students control the content, and the platform controls the design.

The student editor, open on a draft, with its status and a simple toolbar.
  • A simple editor

    It saves as you go and takes pictures with captions and YouTube videos, with no fonts or colours to fuss over.

  • A private preview

    See the page just as it will look before you send it in.

  • Clear feedback

    If an editor asks for changes, the note is right there, ready for you to fix and resubmit.

  • Credit for teamwork

    Name your classmates and their roles, and the work shows on their pages too.

For teachers and editors

Nothing goes public until someone on your staff approves it.

The editorial queue, showing pieces waiting for review and how many need attention.
  • One shared queue

    An editor picks up a piece, and it’s held for them while they review it.

  • Schedule it

    Publish now, or choose the day and time.

  • Safe changes

    Edits to a live page stay in draft until you publish the update.

  • Run it your way

    Choose what each person can do, and see how often each post is read.

Student privacy comes first

The only personal detail the public ever sees is a student’s name.

  • Names only

    A student’s email, profile picture, grade, and section stay off the public site.

  • A choice for each student

    Mark a student as not for publishing, and nothing crediting them can go live.

  • No likes or comments

    The public site has no likes, comments, or view counts.

Connected to your school

School Life can feed your other screens and sites.

  • School screens

    New work can show on your school’s screens, and on smart boards when nobody’s using them.

  • Your main website

    Show the latest articles, news, and events on your school’s main site.

  • Microsoft sign-in

    Students and staff sign in with their school Microsoft accounts.

There are extras you can switch on when you’re ready: points and badges for published work, profile pictures with family permission, and a space for graduates.
