Leadership, Experience and Opportunity is the Leo Club motto, and these devoted young people realize the power of action! Check out their amazing achievements and plans for 2022.

The Leo Club is an extension of the Lions Club, and Pāpāmoa College Leo's is just one of 30 Leo clubs nationwide. We have around 50 student members from years 7 to 13.
