Welcome Note from the Host and Founder of PRS Radio Eugene Leonard Originally from Aghabog City, Co.Monaghan, Ireland, Eugene Leonard is the host of PRS Radio, and has lived in Shenzhen for five years. He is a Technology Integration Coach at Shen Wai International School (SWIS) in Nanshan. This is his second podcast station with SWIS ROC Radio, a school podcast channel being the first one he formed several years ago. It can be found on a number of platforms. He is currently creating new staff orientation podcasts on Anchor, of which this new podcast series will compliment. Guest Introduction Originally from Co.Wexford in Ireland, Paul Delahunty, the virgin guest on PRS Radio, has lived in China for 17 years. In the first part of the show we hear about his journey from the farm yard in Eniscorthy to China to begin his teaching career a long time ago. Paul is now a very happily married man with two wonderful children aged 14&12 who attend schools near where he works in Shenzhen. Part 2 - Cultural Differences In this section Paul tells us some hot tips for how to adapt to life in China including a bizarre, yet excellent tip, which I hadn’t thought of previously sharing about shoes…but rubber soled shoes folk! We hear about the Do’s and Don’ts of living in China, and Paul offers unique perspectives from his lengthy experiences over this past 17 years. We also talk about the huge changes Paul has seen over this time including technological, transport and construction (Don't mention his waistline; it's a sensitive topic) Part 3 - Books Paul, an avid reader of books (not just comics) talks us through some of the excellent books he has read over the years including; Petter Hessler - River Town, Oracle Bones & Country Driving: Daniel Kane - The Chinese Language; Rob Gifford - China Road. Paul choose a book from Christopher Hitchens entitled ‘The Portable Atheist‘ to take with him to read on a Des(S)ert Island if he had only one choice. Part 4 - Music Career (Including Emmet O’Halloran’s amusing question!) We hear amusing stories including Paul’s time in The Beatles and his thoughts on The Galway Girl! Paul talks about favorite musicians and albums. He also offers some hot tips on essential apps to have on your phone to survive in China. Part 5 - Favorite Podcasts (including Blindboy @Rubberbandits) Paul talks about a number of podcasts he enjoys including; Lazslo Montgomery’s China History Podcast Kaiser Kuo’s Sinica Podcast The Irish History Podcast - Finn Dwyer We then have a more detailed discussion about one of our personal favorite - The Blindboy Podcast. We highly recommend this to our listeners and formulate (poorly) a question for Blindboy regarding mental health and advice for expats specifically. Final Part - Brexit and The real reason Paul is in China.... Paul may be on the run from Ireland because of the fear of Brexit according to Emmet O Halloran…. We hope you enjoyed the 1st episode of PRS Radio #PRSradioSZ #Shenzhen @mr_leonard_SWIS anchor.fm/prsradio --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/prsradio/message
SWIS Shenzhen Orientation Episode #E2 Today we welcomed Tuula Webb & Matthew Manfredi on SWIS ROC Radio for the second in our orientation podcasts. The focus of this podcast in the first part of the show was housing; we looked at the advantages/disadvantages of both living on/off campus. To live off campus, we recommend that new staff be aware of the costs involved in getting an apartment. You will need cash upfront to pay; 2 months deposit 1 month rent Agent Fee (Finder Fee) A one off fee which is 1/2 a months rent So typically to rent a 9000 RMB apartment (typically a 90sqm 2 bedroom) you would need 31,500 up front to move ($4556) A 3 bedroom (140sqm+) can be anything from 12,000-17,000 RMB. We will send you on WeChat agents which can help you find accommodation. Thomas is a reputable agent in Shekou who may staff have used and his WeChat ID is; shekourent Housing Hidden Costs; Management Fee (between 300-600 per month depending on size of apartment) Faipao (need for reimbursement from school) - The cost is typically 4% of Rent to get the Faipao ( 360RMB per month on a 9000 rental) Electricity/water/gas (typically about 300 per month) Internet (1800 -2000 per year - Some apartments have bad internet/some are very good) Banking We talk about banking in the second part of the show. This is a process that is not overly liked by expat staff in general as it takes time. You need documents from HR and Finance each time you go to do this; I generally go to the bank once a year at most for this reason and am creative with this process. However, if you have bills at home to pay each month then we suggested that you leave cash in your account at home to cover these for the first couple of months. Get WeChat Wallet set up as soon as you get your bank account set up is our top tip! Voice Messages/Questions/Feedback Finally, we deal with a number of animal questions from incoming staff. Thank you David Platt and Angela Morris for sending in voice messages on Anchor and you are the worth recipients of a 100RMB Voucher each from Le 5 Chefs Shekou. Laura Michelle Loran added a comment on Podomatic and also receives a voucher! Well done to the three of you! Thank You Claudio for the vouchers! David and Angela, we will try and find you information and send on WeChat. On next week’s show Phenix at Xpats Bar Seaworld will provide 3 Vouchers for another three members of staff. Thank You Phenix. We’ll then be knocking on Craig Wildman’s Door at McCawleys Seaworld to see if we can get some vouchers…. We hope you enjoy the show!

This morning at SWIS, Matt Manfredi from Long Island in New York was the guest on SWIS ROC Radio. We hear a little bit of information about his family; his mother and father, Lois and Dante and his wonderful daughter, Kayley in Hanoi (who eats snails....). Matt has been an educator for 18 years and it does not show in his youthful appearance! On the 11&12th May at Level 5, Shekou, Matt will lead a workshop designed to explore the use of student-centered, discussion-based education described as the Harkness method. It’s a collaborative approach to problem solving and learning. This method was created and is used daily at Phillips Exeter Academy located in Exeter, New Hampshire. Phillips Exeter has been consistently ranked as one of the top ten best prep schools in America. It was enlightening listening to Matt explain the Harkness method in greater detail and it was very obvious that he is very passionate about it and is eager to share more details with the participants at the workshop. Matt finally admits (we all knew) that his hero is Tina Turner. It was a fitting way to end the show. We hope you enjoy the show and if you would like to find out more information about the Harkness method or if you'd like to meet Matt in person (?) then pop along to the INS department at SWIS Shenzhen.

#SWISROCRADIO finally went on their long awaited and highly anticipated tour of the far flung fields of Shekou. The venue for their road trip was the salubrious environs of Le 5 Chefs where they were warmly greeted by Claudio! On this first sports podcast of their local tour, Leonard (ICT Integration) and Youngman (Athletics Director of SWIS) were joined by two local celebrities (in their own minds) from Shekou International School Carlos Galvez and Nathan Lil. The podcast mainly focuses on the mens' passion for sports, the reasons behind this and their backgrounds in many different sports. We hear a lot of information about their achievements through the years as well as their thoughts on many different topics. The aim of this podcast was to get staff members of SIS & SWIS together to enjoy a fun podcast together with the hope of developing closer links between the two groups for future projects such as the upcoming Inspire Citizens Conference at SIS in September (this is mentioned by Nathan from 40:00-47:00 on the show). For more information about this project follow Steve Sostak & Aaron Moniz on Twitter. Guest Biographies JoshUA Youngman, an Iowa farm boy, is the current Athletic Director at Shen Wai International School. He spent the previous five years in Jakarta, splitting his time between two schools as a teacher and Athletic Director. Originally from Iowa (USA), Josh grew up playing football (soccer) and basketball. He played football collegiately, while beginning his coaching career at the local high school. He has now been coaching for 13 years, both football and basketball. Josh attained his CAA (Certified Athletic Administrator) endorsement in December 2018, after completing his M.S. in Athletic administration in May 2017. JoshUA has implemented many new initiatives in his role at SWIS. His weekly sports reports on the official school sports subscription on WeChat have been excellent (Search RocAthletics on WeChat) and his weekly sports podcasts have been well received by the community. Carlos Galvez completed his Bachelor’s Degree in Guatemala where he grew up competing in tennis and equestrian events. He played Division 1 tennis for a long time and competed in international junior equestrian events. Sports have always been very important to him which is why he decided to become an educator and instil health and fitness knowledge in young learners. He's taught in Guatemala City, Milan and currently Shekou international School (SIS) Shenzhen. He’s married to Ceci-Galvez Gomez and they have two wonderful children together. Nathan Lil is a long suffering Arsenal fan (like myself) from USA. He is the Middle School Assistant Principal at Shekou International School (SIS). Nathan worked for over 15 years in America before joining SIS. We hope you enjoy the show and I look forward to recording more podcasts in the future with Nathan and his team. Sadly, Carlos and Josh are moving to new jobs in August; we wish them and their families the very best in their new posts in Vietnam and India respectively.
