health, to increase enjoyment and to promote a
positive contribution as well as a becoming a pathway to employment.
The Canterbury High School does not select on sporting ability but students gifted and talented in sport apply here for The Canterbury Institute of Sport and for the unrivalled facilities on campus.
Students are given access to a wide range of sporting activities alongside a variety of academic and vocational qualifications. The PE faculty recognises the importance that physical education and school sport play in leading a healthy and active lifestyle.
A youthful, highly motivated and forward-thinking department, the aim is to allow students to reach their maximum potential.

"I just wanted to say well done to you and your team for the fantastic event you put on last night. I was amazed at how well it was supported.
Max said he couldn't believe that a school was prepared to hold an event like it. Again the school continues to amaze us."
