Join us at South Eveleigh Skate and Scooter Park to attend one of Totem Skate's FREE sessions.
Workshops are focused on inclusion, participation, and confidence-building while incorporating the fundamental movement skills considered to be the building blocks for movement.

By combining both the physical and creative elements of skateboarding, Totem gives students the opportunity to try out and practice a wide and unique variety of experiences to build self-esteem in a fun, safe, and supported environment.
