Dave Masiutama, was suspended from his high school approx. 2 years ago.

He was allowed to return provided that he repeated the school year. He chose not to as he says his pride got in the way.

After a year of not doing much, Dave then started searching military and came across the ATC Military Prep school close to where he lived in West Auckland. 

David enrolled and began in May last year, graduating from his first course in November. He has since enrolled in the next levels and is loving the course, both the physical, tutors and study.

David is studying Uniformed Services, which will set him up for a career in Police, Customs, Defence, Search and Research, Fire and Emergency etc. He intends to enrol in the Army next year and is excited about his future.
