The disgraced St Kentigern College head boy, stood down from his private school, has been welcomed into his local high school in South Auckland.
Sootala Fa'aso'o, captain of the first XV at the $35,000-a-year college, was stood down last month.
Details of what he did have not been released.
It came just two weeks before his team played Auckland Grammar in the Auckland secondary schools' final at Eden Park.
Fa'aso'o started at Papatoetoe High School last week, principal Peter Gall said.
