FIN, BAYLEY HOUSE PARTICIPANT FOR 3 YEARS
Fin is involved in a wide spectrum of enterprises at Bayley House and continues his close friendships with a lot of his old classmates from Port Phillip Specialist School.
He is a very skilful ball handler and top goal shooter in our Division 1 Bayley Bullets basketball team – helping us win some silverware and trophies. Being a huge Carlton supporter, he thoroughly enjoys volunteering at the Carlton Football Club.
Music and movement, drama, hip-hop, dancing and working with iPads and computers are among his favourite activities.
His goals are to improve his communication and social skills and get a paid job. Through our Working to Potential initiative with Coles and other activities, Fin is getting closer to realising his goals.
