At Usher High School, education extends well beyond textbooks and examination halls. Sport, clubs, and cultural activities give every learner space to discover talent, build character, and grow in confidence.
Rooted in Salvation Army values, our co-curricular programme encourages teamwork, discipline, service, and healthy competition. Whether on the track, in the debate chamber, or at choir practice, learners are guided to develop the whole person, mind, body, and spirit.
Usher competes in SASA fixtures and school-level tournaments, developing athletes who represent the school with pride at district, provincial, and national level.
Sport at Usher is more than winning matches. Learners are taught teamwork, self-discipline, physical fitness, and sportsmanship, qualities that serve them long after they leave Usher High School.
Coaches and teachers work together to balance academic commitments with training, ensuring learners grow as students and as athletes.
