Bailey Crichton

I completed my VCE at the end of 2021, after which I went straight into work. I got a job working with a warehouse agency, at which I worked from 2021 to 2023. The jobs I worked included picking and packing, cleaning and container unloading. I worked at companies such as Belbird Kidz, Lifestyle brands and Bam wine unloading containers and doing pick and packing. I then worked at Onsite Rental Group cleaning portable buildings. I also spent some time working as a car cleaner for Mornington Dealer group where it was my job to clean the interior and exterior of the cars that came out of the shop, ready for customers to collect. Since moving to the sunshine Coast, I have worked a mix of warehousing, retail administration and carpentry as a first year apprentice.

I have been playing basketball since I was 11 years old. I started playing for Berwick Flames of the Casey Basketball Association. I then moved to Berwick Panthers where I played until aging out. I then started playing representative basketball for the Keysborough Cougars of the VJBL where I played under 18s and 20s. Once finishing my VJBL career I successfully tried my luck at youth league basketball where I played a season for the Mornington Breakers in a league called the Big V. On top of that I played high school basketball for my first school, St. Francis Xavier college, in which we played local high school teams. I then moved to Rowville Secondary College, where we would go on to play bigger basketball program schools and play in national qualifiers. There we were seen as one of the best basketball programs in the country.
