Looking at current school magazine contents pages, I quite like this one. It has particularly good conventions that a magazine contents page would be expected to have.
I particularly like the way subheadings have been created to separate what is included in the magazine. I think this makes the page more quickly accesable and readable, as people often don't concerntrate on everything in the contents page, they go to it and expect to see the page they need to go to quickly. I think these subheadings also make the magazine look more professional and appear to have coverd many different articles and information of the school.
The pictures used make the contents page appear less dull and space the information out easier. The pictures relate to the content, suchas students working and an image of the school.
The minimalistic background also means it is easier to read and less confusing.
The font is conistent throughout. The size or colour adapts slightly on page numbers, the title and the subheadings, to label the contents efficently.

Some aspects I dont particularly like are the dull colour scheme, perhaps different shades of green, inkeeping with the schools colour theme is just a suggestion.
It could also include some informal lexis, making it appear more chatty like a caption 'Whats inside this week?' to appeal more to the students who would read this.
Overall I like this contents page, it is simple and clear without being boring. From this I will take the idea of consitency and subheadings for my own contents page I will create.
