Shepparton Lions Club hosts successful summit showcasing student public speaking talents

The judges from the Greater Shepparton region included multicultural liaison officer Leading Senior Constable Leigh Johnson from Shepparton Police Station, Furphy Engineering project manager Pravin Urudra and Dr Selina Quilty.

They had the unenviable task of selecting the winner from the many talented speakers, with Clarissa Wong named Leo of the Year.

“The day was very successful and full of very talented students showing their professionalism and public speaking abilities,” Shepparton Lions president Patsy Lansdown said.

Ms Lansdown acknowledged the hard work and dedication of Victorian Leo chair Lee Wakington and the students who helped organise it.

She also expressed her gratitude to the university and Greater Shepparton City Council for providing such a “fantastic venue” for the event.

The summit’s success was a testament to the organisation’s commitment to supporting young people in the community and throughout the state.
