THE VOICE OF THE LION
Welcome
The Magazine Club is a group of students ranging from all grades within Magee Secondary School who collaborate amongst themselves, students, and other administration to create magazines.
Called The Voice of the Lion, the magazines are published seasonally, 3x a year.
About Us
We believe in the power of spreading voices, storytelling, and creating a creative platform for students. After our founder, Julia Guo, noticed a disconnection within her school community, she decided to take action and create a magazine that would mitigate this by incorporating people of various backgrounds, diverse works, and more.
Our team is composed of two different parties. Our executives are the permanent members. We have various roles from graphic designers who create attention grabbing covers and insides to journalists who venture out looking for new issues and spin their pens. The executive team puts in their hardest efforts all year round to ensure that a satisfying edition comes out for the public.
Contributors play another big role in our team. Students and staff who submit their work to be published, are interviewed, or are included within the edition are our contributors. These members vary across editions as we have a constant stream of new content.
Our Story
Julia Guo and Aidan Bradley set up the Magazine Club stand on Clubs Day in 2022 with few expectations, and were pleasantly surprised with over 100 signups. After a month, roles were established and meetings became a regular occurrence. The team grew to a group of multiple, working diligently to collect content and publish each edition on time. After the Winter edition was published, the team noticed that there were in fact multiple things to be unsatisfied with. Thus, for the subsequent editions, they modified and implemented outside feedback to ameliorate the copies. In the following year, the club grew even larger in size, with new design tools and even more advanced publications. Now in the 25-26 season, the leadership has been passed on to Eva Bradley and Jeen Yoon. Over the years, we've amassed a readership of over 7.5k, garnering attention from not only students within Magee, but also the VSB.
