Leo Club of Cabramatta High School
Cabramatta Leos Club is a youth wing of the Cabramatta Lions Club. It is made up of young people and is based at Cabramatta High School. Members believe that everyone has something positive to contribute to society. Leos are also part of an international network of future leaders in business, government and communities. Be part of something bigger!
It provides students with the chance to gain life and career skills, including leadership, problem-solving, team work and decision-making, whilst serving our communities, making new friends and having lots of fun!
In 2015, the then District Governor Lorraine Mairinger awarded the prestigious Leo Club of the Year award to Cabramatta High School for being the best club, demonstrating excellence in all avenues of community work. Leos Kimberley Nay Kim, Katrina Trinh and Wendy Lam graciously accepted the award on behalf of all our student volunteers.
