Have you considered basing this off existing software for schools,

Sounds like one hell of a project. Are you sure you aren't
encountering the Second System Effect
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-system_effect) despite this being
only your first project?
Jabber a.k.a. XMPP (http://www.jabber.org/web/Main_Page) would
probably be a good option for IM.
MySQL or Sqlite, probably the former. The other ones you list aren't
really databases per se.
Use some kind of encryption; I'd recommend using KeyCzar -
Don't really know what you mean by this.
IceCast might be a good starting point - http://www.icecast.org/
Good luck. Sounds like an ambitious project. Hope the pointers I gave help.
Cheers,

I am planning to develop School Database Management System that will run on
Windows, Linux and Mac. The application will be Server/Client and GUI based.

Some planned features is:-
