The Five W's of PatChat

Welcome to the world of PatChat! We are excited to present to you the first official Germantown Academy Admission blog...designed by our students. 

Upon joining the blogging community, we wanted the stories, the adventures, the tales, and the experiences to come directly from the students. Who better to tell the story of GA than those who live it every day? 

There's an old concept in journalism that when you set out to write an engaging and informative story (or a blog, in this case), you must cover the Five W’s: Who, What, When, Where, and Why.  Therefore, we present to you, the Five W's of PatChat...

WHO: The students. We want to give students the opportunity to share their personal stories about life here at GA.

WHAT: Students are encouraged to blog about anything and everything that relates to their experiences at GA.

WHERE: Whether out at The Preserve, working at a Community Service event, playing in or watching a Patriots basketball game, sitting in on an interesting biology class, or at home during winter break...students will share the moment.

WHEN: PatChat is for you...the readers. As a blog reader, some of the most entertaining entries come from those least expected events/experiences. We advise our students to blog a little or blog a lot...whenever they feel an experience is worth capturing and sharing with the PatChat world.

WHY: Why PatChat? Every year, when prospective families come to visit Germantown Academy for an Admission event or visit day, they rave about our student tour guides. Specifically about how open, honest, enthusiastic and confident they all are. With that in mind, GA wants to take the tours and student panels “live” with PatChat. Readers can expect blog entries that are creative, fun, and real. Most importantly, the readers will be able to see the students true GA colors shine through in their writing.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy a daily dose of PatChat. Happy reading!
