"The Athletics Academy at Canterbury High School is an incredible opportunity for serious Athletes to train every day whilst completing their academic studies. The facilities available and the Coaching provided by June Plews and her support team, is quite simply outstanding. Being in the position I am, to hand over the coaching of my daughter, Jazmin was not a decision taken lightly but it was most certainly the right decision."
