Hello everyone, my name is Le Tran and I’m a Social Work student at Flinders University. Today I’m sending a few words in our school newsletter to introduce myself to all school staff, students as well as parents of Coromandel Valley Primary School. I come from Vietnam, a beautiful country with many magnificent sceneries and succulent food, and it reveals the origin of Pho as well. I’m so grateful to be matched to our CVPS for my first placement, which gives me an opportunity to meet and work with many friendly, nice, and supportive people. When I was in Vietnam, I often attended to various community volunteer activities and together with my classmates in University, we subscribed necessities, money to charity organizations and orphanages whenever we had a chance. I have a desire of helping and supporting other people, so that was the reason why I chose to pursue Master of Social Work course. I and my peer student, Praveena, will be at our school 4 to 5 days a week to support the well-being of the school students, giving our hands to school staff when they need it. We will also draw up some plans to create activities for kids in lunch time or any special occasion in the near future. Hope that we, the SW student, will have successful learning and working time and can also contribute our knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm to the sustainable development of our school. Last word, I would send my special thanks to Ms. Pelling for the precious chance she has given to me!   

Hello everyone!!

My name is Praveena and I am a Social Work Student (from Flinders University) on placement here in Coromandel Valley Primary School for the next 4 months. My colleague, Le Tran, and I are here to assist you in your wellbeing and help students achieve their full potential in all areas.

Now, a little bit more about myself. I hail from sunny Singapore and really miss the food from home. Here in Adelaide, I enjoy a walk on the beach in the evenings, baking, creating art, playing with dogs, exercising and just being around nature. I also love nature and love learning about plants and animals.

Please feel free to come up and say hello and have a chat whenever you see us around the school. I look forward to working here for the next few months.
