LEO

La Martiniere College Extra-curricular Organization (LEO) is an umbrella group made up of

representatives of the different co-curricular activity clubs that function in the College. The

members of LEO see themselves in the role of leadership as lions. They have chosen for their

inspiration the ubiquitous lion emblem that surrounds the monument Constantia, which is also

the name of this day-long event.

The apex of Constantia, the monument, bears a unique crown, which contributes to the image of

the crowned lion that is the mascot for Constantia – 2014.
