Skate Victoria proud to offer skating opportunities for all kids.
Kids from Bulleen Heights Special School recently enjoyed two days of fun skating at their school.
The children, most of them had never skated before, were able to have a try at learning to skate,
with rollerblades & safety equipment, all provided by Skate Victoria.

Autisim presents enormous challenges in every day life, challenges that we in the community, may not always think of.

Learning to skate (whilst not an everyday challenge), was certainly a different type of challenge for some, a few kids were understandably apprehensive, whilst others just took off, unassisted.

The big smiles on kids faces, continual laughter and gratitude by the schools teachers, reinforced to us, that Skate Victoria had provided a worthy community service to kids, who may not have been able to access such opportunities normally.
An interesting fact :- Do you know that autism actually affects more boys than girls ??…..
