At my uni, we have a web portal that contains most of what you are looking for, I think. Some of the features include:
-NetStorage (Web version of network storage drive/ftp)
-Web E-mail
-News/Weather
-Buy and Sell
-Library info (workshops, programs, books out, fines etc)
-Searchable faculty directory with e-mail address and office phone #
-Calender
-Daily Comic
-Google search

The whole thing is powered with uPortal
Here's a screenshot of a customised version of uPortal

my school don't have anything

well a dodgy 'intranent homepage' when you open IE but thats about it... theres a thign where u can call a technician but it don't work or they arent there....

my m8s got in trouble for getting into the system BIOS my school is bexley grammar school... the password was bexley

the teacher accounts with RM all had the default passwords if the teachers didnt use themmm... (old ones or ones with laptops didnt use the account) so the password never got changed.. jus type in their name and inital and put 'password' and you could access anything so lame...

there is a 'language lab' full of headfones and microphones where you can talk to the teacher easily but that dont really count.. but that only gets used for language lessons

my school sucks with ict they are so tight with money i want an intranet would be cool...and extremely usefull...

We have our own e-mail system and website and that's it really

And some yr 7's made a website called webscence

yeah but what exactly is on it? i.e. content ideas are what i need lol

Meetc has the right idea! lol

Well our university has an intranet site where we can access the inet (that is, to allow us to pick up things for the next lectures etc.) but we can also access out Uni email and library services. Theres also a link to an online bookstore which operates with the uni and in Aberdeen. There's links to everything we could possibly need through out. However, I do believe that this is changing. I'll post a few screenshots of what we are going to be using in a moment or two

at our school we have an intranet, and it has a huge repositry of pdf files that are related to each subject. It got really big and hard to find files, (there were about 3GB worth of stuff) so they got a google search server and now we can use Google's awesome searching technology to browse all the pdf files.

Also we have a site called blackboard which gives us information regarding our school like assignments and forums and stuff...

I have something smilar to blackboard, Its for online assignments, quizzes, course info etc, called WebCT

We've got a school intranet as well. It's got loads of revision things for every subject and is really useful.

The school put it on the internet so we can log in to our school intranet from anywhere. We can download our school work, or upload it so we can get it at school. school intranet.

definately a student chat for the students to just talk to each other..it would be great if it were irc for people to monitor it too

No, that would not be the greatest of ideas. Schools in my area have put that in the TOS, no chat rooms. A better idea for a school would be a message board in which posts are approved by a moderator before they are posted, for liability reasons.
