Learn to Skate Classes

The Skateaway Star Classes are held every Saturday from 9am-10am & 1pm – 2pm and are suitable for all people of any age whether using roller blades or traditional quad skates. Skaters can start as young as two years old.

Your Star Class Coordinator and instructor, Christine Keogh, is a fully qualified level 1 Accredited Roller Skating Coach. Christine and our team of competent instructors will ensure you learn good roller skating skills and techniques to assist you to skate in the general public sessions held regularly at Bundamba Skateaway. This will also assist you if you a planning on playing In-Line Hockey, or choose to move into Artistic (Figure) Skating or even speed Skating, which is also held at Skateaway every week.

We will teach you all this, while at the same time, having lots of fun and improving your skating ability.

The Skateaway Star Class Program has 4 levels, which commence at a basic skating level and then gradually progresses through to more involved technical items as you pass through each of the star tests.

New skaters to the Learn to Skate Program, will be assessed and placed in the correct level for their ability and skating skill. Every seven weeks we conduct Star Testing and the successful skaters will proceed to the next level of instruction and receive a certificate of achievement.

In some instances a skater may be in a position to be tested for more than one level at a testing session. If the skater wishes to do so, they can arrange this with their instructor and Christine before the test.

Once a skater has completed the Learn to Skate program, they may like to move into In-Line Hockey or Artistic (Figure) Skating.

We are here to help you learn and enjoy your roller skating/bladeing experience at Skateaway. If you have any queries or require any information at any time, please do not hesitate to ask Christine prior or after the skating class, the Session Manager, or click here and we will email you back your enquiry.
