Roger’s CV

HONG KONG

What’s new?

I am a Singaporean storyteller who has been telling stories professionally since 1998.

In late April I had a great week at the Singapore International School in Hong Kong, thanks to Madam Mak and her enthusiastic staff, where I told to all classes from K1 to Secondary 3. See the Young Post story about my work.  

Our current (Term 3) project with 960 pupils in P3, P4 + P5 at Jurong West Primary is going great guns.  I’m enjoying working with some fine kids in 5A/5B/4A especially, and I’m grateful to my core team of tellers - Chuah Ai Lin, Dolly Leow, Hemang Yadav, Ann Arasi, Grace Kalai, Gemia Foo, Mariah Zainal and Callista Tan - for doing such a good job in enthusing their classes with fables (P3); myths and legends (P4) and Asian folktales (P5.)  JWP’s English teachers are playing an active part in the lessons too, which looks promising for making storytelling a key part of the school’s oral niche activities.
