Skate of Mind at Carriageworks | Free Monthly Program
Totem Skateboarding is proud to partner with Big hART’s Skate of Mind project to deliver a free monthly program at Carriageworks across six months.
This series is more than just skateboarding. It’s a space for young people to connect, express themselves, and build confidence through movement, creativity, and community.
Each event will feature a mix of structured skate sessions and creative activities, designed to support all skill levels and interests.
What’s on:
Learn to Skate sessions for beginners and those building confidence
Mentoring sessions with experienced skateboarders
A pop-up skate spot to ride and progress
Beat-making workshops
Colouring and creative activities for younger participants
Whether you're stepping on a board for the first time or just want to be part of a positive community environment, there’s something here for everyone.
Who can join:
Open to ages 6+
Beginner, intermediate & advanced Skaters welcome
Skateboards, helmets and pads will be available, though we recommend bringing your own if you have them.
Sessions are structured and capacity-based, so please arrive on time for your booked session.
No waiver, no skate.
Come down, get involved, and be part of the Skate of Mind community at Carriageworks.
ABOUT THE LEARN TO SKATE CLASSES
We believe in having a go, so students are encouraged to go at their own pace under the guidance of our coaches. 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 skills to build self-esteem in a fun, safe, and supported environment.
WHAT CLASS SHOULD I REGISTER FOR?
We have created this simple guide to help you decide what class will be best suited for you/your child.
Our beginner class is for skill level 0 to 1 and the intermediate class and self-expression jam session is for skill level 2 to 3.
Level 0 - The Newcomer
New to skateboarding and has no experience. Might have had a go but uncomfortable.
Level 1 - Beginner
Has skated a few times, limited experience, and needs to build confidence and skillset
Level 2 - Transition into Intermediate
Knows the foundational skills and wants to start exploring tricks.
Level 3 - Intermediate
Is confident on a skateboard, knows the foundational skills, a few tricks, and wants to advance to the next level.
WAIVER FORM - Participants must complete our online waiver form here before they can skate. Please try to have this done before you get to the skatepark.
THE WAIVER FORM IS NOT A TICKET.
Spots are limited, and bookings are essential via Carriageworks
