category for most outstanding
achievement by a young sports
sportsman with a disability.
“I feel happy and proud to represent
my school,” Luka said.
He has won titles at club,
school, regional and national
championship events.
The South Island Secondary
School Swim Championships in
June went particularly well, and
he took home three gold medals,
coming first in three para
categories – 100m freestyle, 50m
freestyle and 50m breaststroke.
He has also qualified to take
part in the next DSISA World
games to be held in Portugal in
2022.
“I think anyone can swim.
Everyone needs to be safe in the
water,” Luka said.
His achievements were due
to plenty of training, and he
practised up to five times a week
as part of Jellie Park’s Jasi Swim
Club.
“I do practice a lot. It keeps me
fit and healthy and I am getting
faster and faster. . . I like having
muscles.”
However swimming was also
fun and a good way to make
friends, he said.

With the move North planned, my clients can’t take the
house with them! After eighteen happy years living in their
home it will be hard to say goodbye to this lovely large home.
Spacious interconnecting living rooms are complemented by
the generous four bedrooms plus study. The main bedroom is
bathed in sunshine with a walk in wardrobe and ensuite and
the configuration of the family bathroom allows multiple users.
The garage too is generous with a combined workshop plus the
bonus of drive through to the rear of the section. Room on this
section for the children, vegetable garden and the trampoline.
Immaculately presented, don’t hesitate to view. My clients
want to spend Christmas in the sunny North.
