The School's co-curricular activities are popular among the youth of Lahore. They range from educational events to completely enjoyment programmes. Most of the branches have an ecological society, which campaigns against the degreening of Lahore, and the concomitant decline in Lahore's air quality. Many branches have a community service program, proving students with opportunities to volunteer at organisations. Some of these include the Pakistan Society for the Rehabilitation of the Disabled, the Rising Sun Institute, Fatima Memorial Hospital, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP), and Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital.[cit Different clubs are arranged for the academic body, including debating and MUN societies, with teenagers participating in tournaments both locally and internationally.

Bonfires are an annual tradition for junior branches. Each branch has its own event. The event is an opportunity for pupils to take a brief break from schoolwork, helping them interact with each other in a way that enhances their social skills.

An event called GSL also takes place near the end of school in GSL or Grammar Super League children dress as cricketers and have a cricket tournament in which the winner receives a trophy.

Lahore grammar school is giving opportunities to its students to enhance not just academically, but also in various co-curricular activities. The school has various societies including MUN, debates and drama society. These opportunities given to students ensure that they are successfully able to pursue in these fields, with alumni like Fawad Khan and Momina Musthesan on the list.

Annual Interschool events are also held, including Grammathon, Grammun and Grammanation. These events usually host up to 500 delegates and are mainly managed by the student body, therefore contributing to their skills outside the classroom. The events are mostly followed by social events such as concerts, talent shows, fashion walks and qawwali nights.

Concerts by famous musical bands are held annually. The bands may be local or even the school's own bands. All major branches put on an annual play, in Punjabi, Urdu or English. Plays like Andhera Ujala were screened on television channels whereas Khatra-e-Jaan which had a number of LGS participants also received favorable reviews across Lahore.[2] The school's network has gone on educational trips to Lahore, all over Pakistan and to abroad countries including India,[3] China, the United States, Uzbekistan, Greece, Spain, and Egypt.[4][5]
