Haha u ppl are so funny... Luckily the school which I PV-ed in has those ad-hoc activities that can clock 4-8 hrs at one go type. Hence can take 1/2 or full day leave and finish 40 hrs within a few times.
Can share what sort of adhoc activities can clock 4-8hrs? So I can also \"try\" to volunteer my service...

Probably event-based like sch open house, fun fair, celebrations, camps, etc. It depends on the sch though. Some schs may not ask for PV for these events.Luanee:

Sometimes, sch camps may be overnight (and may be help at a campsite outside sch). PVs may be asked to go along to help and also fulfill the student-teacher ratio. If you're lucky to be asked for such activities, and you can make it, you can clock a number of hours at one go. -

their excursions/field trips. Usually lasts the
whole half-day within school hours. -
Hi autumn82,
Some PVs followed the girls on excursions earlier this year. Took up half a day each time, though not too sure if it applies to all PVs or selected ones. -

There are some PV that go with overseas trip like Malaysia, Taiwan, China etc. Lke that if they go on a fews days you can very fast clock 40 hours.
Good luck & enjoy your PV! -

You sure or not? I will be on the alert for \"trouble\" cos some kids when they are out of sch, they become someone else. Some kids are also so protected/sheltered that they don't know how to be a smart traveller (e.g., may \"flaunt\" wealth like handphone and wallet unwittingly, may misplace passport, etc.)
And teachers may still have to pay for their travel expenses, though at a discounted rate. So this may apply to PVs too.
