Peter Kaua still feels the tears well up when he sees young people marching out after completing an induction course at Waiouru Military Camp. We re coming up to 12 years now but it still gets me, he said. There is nothing like it - seeing them march by and their parents being so proud of them.
Principal Kaua established the service academy at Whanganui City College in 2010 and his first recruit was a young tearaway named Tyrone Kemp who now leads club and game development at the Whanganui Rugby Football Union.
