Adamjee Cantonment College is noteworthy for its Co-curricular activities which are performed by the students following the realm of the core curriculum of college education. It is an established researched fact that students involved in extracurricular activities receive higher grades than those not involved in activities. Choosing something outside a student’s comfort zone widens horizons and expands paths of knowledge. Co-curricular activities help students gain experience in a variety of areas that will enhance their future and help students to receive better grades by teaching them character building lessons, lifelong skills, saving some at risk students who would possibly drop out of school, and helping students develop social skills. Through extracurricular activities, students learn life skills that benefit their studies.
Another benefit of extracurricular activities for at risk students is that it lessens the number of discipline problems. They provide and instruct students with lessons that will last them a lifetime. Keeping that in mind Adamjee Cantonment College conducts different extra-curricular activities through 27 vibrant clubs around the year. The clubs are run by the students’ representative under the supervision of a teacher-moderator.
