I would like to take this opportunity to introduce the College community to Chloe Baek who is the nurse working at Scoresby Secondary College as part of the Doctors in Secondary Schools program. Chloe works at Eastlink Family Medical clinic along with Dr Wesley Ko. Many of our students who have either visited the doctor’s clinic at school or had telephone consults with Chloe will have had the opportunity to speak with her. Here is some information about Chloe to help you get to know her further.
Hi students!
My name is Chloe and I will be a school nurse at Scoresby Secondary College coming every Monday. I have been working as a nurse for nearly two years now and really enjoying it! I finished my nursing degree in Queensland and moved down to Melbourne early last year. So far, I really love exploring all the beautiful places and cafes in Melbourne. During my spare time, I love spending time with my friends, playing games and racket sports. In terms of my backgrounds, I am originally from South Korea and came to Australia around 8 years ago. I have met really good people and enjoyed my life here. I am really excited to meet and talk to students at Scoresby Secondary College. If you need someone to chat about your worries or struggles, please feel free to find me! I am ready to support every student here. Looking forward to seeing you guys!
