0:00:02 > 0:00:03Today On Extreme School...

0:00:03 > 0:00:06- Two troublesome teens from Glasgow...- Don't talk back to me.

0:00:06 > 0:00:07You think it's funny?

0:00:07 > 0:00:09..sign up for a strict school in Singapore.

0:00:09 > 0:00:13- Follow the school rules. - There's tough challenges...

0:00:13 > 0:00:15We had no time to think.

0:00:15 > 0:00:17HE SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE

0:00:17 > 0:00:21..and harsh punishments for breaking the rules.

0:00:21 > 0:00:25- Oh, it stinks in here.- I don't want to see any black stains.

0:00:25 > 0:00:28Can they toe the line at this extreme school?

0:00:28 > 0:00:32If you keep talking back to me I'll send you to the principal.

0:00:58 > 0:01:03Do you follow school rules or make up your own?

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Do you love pushing your teacher's patience to the limits?

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Stop talking!

0:01:08 > 0:01:12And spend more time outside than inside the classroom?

0:01:12 > 0:01:14It's your fault.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17If this is ringing alarm bells, then five

0:01:17 > 0:01:21days at one of the world's toughest schools could be a game changer.

0:01:24 > 0:01:25Today, I'm at a school in Glasgow.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29I'm here to give two rule breakers a big wake-up call.

0:01:32 > 0:01:3613-year-old Reagan always likes to be the centre of attention.

0:01:37 > 0:01:42My reputation is kind of like talking, disrupting, answering back.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44I'm in trouble every day.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48My dream job when I'm older will probably be a football player.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51That's more important to me than anything, to be honest.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57And 13-year-old Saqlain is no better when it comes

0:01:57 > 0:01:59to playing by the rules.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03I'm like a teacher's nightmare because I get cheeky with them.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06I'm not the king of rule breaking, but I think I'm the prince.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Their behaviour needs to change, fast.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15Before I meet these cheeky chappies, I need to scout out some

0:02:15 > 0:02:18evidence for my extreme school dossier.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20So tell me, what's Reagan like at school?

0:02:20 > 0:02:23A bit of a Jack the lad. Reagan's one of those boys

0:02:23 > 0:02:26that needs to learn when not to talk back to teachers.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Reagan can be very disruptive in class.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34So, tell me, what's Saqlain like in class?

0:02:34 > 0:02:38Saqlain's often out of class.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42Saqlain needs to focus and concentrate much more in class.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44He is very easily distracted.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48The case is watertight.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52These boys are 100% in need of an extreme school experience.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54It's time for Reagan and Saqlain to swap

0:02:54 > 0:02:56their school bags for suitcases.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Hello, I'm Susan Calman from Extreme School.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02CHEERING

0:03:02 > 0:03:06Now, I am looking for Reagan and Saqlain.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Could you come up to the front, please? Come and join me.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15So Reagan, Saqlain, I've been told you talk back to teachers,

0:03:15 > 0:03:16is that right?

0:03:16 > 0:03:19Yeah. Some of them can be cheeky to you.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Oh, so it's the teacher's fault for being cheeky.

0:03:22 > 0:03:23Basically, yes.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Now, Saqlain, you've got a bit of a problem following school rules.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28- Is that right?- What's the school rules? I've never heard them.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30- So no-one's told you the school rules.- Yes.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33I see, it's a lack of information. That's appalling, isn't it?

0:03:33 > 0:03:38- So if you were told the school rules, would you follow them?- No.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Well, it's very clear to me that both of you are crying

0:03:41 > 0:03:47out for a stint at an extreme school and have I got a beauty for you.

0:03:50 > 0:03:55At this school, the school rule book is over 60 pages long.

0:03:55 > 0:03:56What?!

0:03:56 > 0:03:59What?! What?!

0:03:59 > 0:04:03At this school, the academic day starts at 7.30 in the morning.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05What the...?

0:04:06 > 0:04:12At this school, pupils greet their teachers by kissing their hands.

0:04:12 > 0:04:13Oh, no.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23You're going to Al-Irsyad Al-Islamiah school,

0:04:23 > 0:04:26a strict religious school in Singapore.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28LAUGHTER

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Rules are really important.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37The whole of this country respect the rules.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Bye now. Bye.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46Watch out, Singapore.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50His fault if we get in trouble.

0:04:50 > 0:04:55- It'd be his fault if we get in trouble.- You're worse than me.- So.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Reagan and Saqlain will be flying almost 7,000 miles

0:05:05 > 0:05:07from Glasgow to South East Asia.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10It's here you'll find bustling Singapore.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14One of the most densely populated countries in the world where

0:05:14 > 0:05:17the streets are clean because chewing gum is banned.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21It's home to the Al-Irsyad Al-Islamiah school,

0:05:21 > 0:05:24where Mr Isham is in charge.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27Every child must learn to respect the school rules.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31We have a few very strict teachers and they really mean business

0:05:31 > 0:05:34and they won't take any messing around.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38With a school motto of strength and honour, pupils are expected to

0:05:38 > 0:05:42excel in academic life and uphold Muslim values.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Persistent rule breakers back home, can Saqlain and Reagan

0:05:47 > 0:05:49toe the line here?

0:05:51 > 0:05:54The buildings are huge. Whoa.

0:05:56 > 0:06:00The boys have agreed to enrol at the school for five days.

0:06:02 > 0:06:03That's massive.

0:06:03 > 0:06:08To graduate successfully, they must follow the uniform correctly,

0:06:08 > 0:06:13treat teachers with respect and succeed in an end of week challenge.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19Meeting the head should help them realise what they've let

0:06:19 > 0:06:22- themselves in for.- Hello, guys. - Hello.- And you are?

0:06:22 > 0:06:25- I'm Reagan.- And you are? - I'm Saqlain.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Please come. Follow me.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34In this school, you are expected to follow the school rules

0:06:34 > 0:06:36and we have a few of them.

0:06:40 > 0:06:46Number one. Students should wear the school uniform correctly all times.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50Students should listen when teachers are talking.

0:06:50 > 0:06:55Students should use correct greeting when addressing teachers

0:06:55 > 0:06:56and adults in school.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03And finally, the most important rule,

0:07:03 > 0:07:08students must always respect teachers and never talk back.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13If any of the students don't follow the school rules

0:07:13 > 0:07:15I will give them punishment.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18- What is the punishment? - They have to wash the toilets.

0:07:18 > 0:07:19Oh!

0:07:21 > 0:07:24We did just hear a lot of school rules.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27Trying not to talk back to teachers will be my hardest rule, I'd say.

0:07:27 > 0:07:31I think they look like they will have a good time washing

0:07:31 > 0:07:33the toilets.

0:07:33 > 0:07:37If they don't want to get their hands dirty, they'll definitely need

0:07:37 > 0:07:39to stick to this school's first rule -

0:07:39 > 0:07:41wearing the proper uniform.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45Once you are dressed, Mr Mustaqim will come and do uniform check.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Let's try it on.- Let's go.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56THEY LAUGH

0:07:56 > 0:07:59I'm not wearing the hat. You can wear your hat.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01I am not wearing my hat.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07School disciplinarian, Mr Mustaqim,

0:08:07 > 0:08:10is extremely hot on uniform standards.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12I won't tolerate misbehaviour.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16If they misbehave, they'll get the consequences.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18You look like a waiter.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20You've got the exact same thing on as me.

0:08:22 > 0:08:27I'm Mr Mustaqim. Where is your hat? Wear it now.

0:08:28 > 0:08:32- Why are you wearing your jacket? - Don't know.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34- You have to remove it.- Now?

0:08:34 > 0:08:38Yes, now. Faster. Go and put it there.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44- Your hat.- I don't have one. - Take it now.- This one?- Yes.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46I'll take my other one.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52Raise your trousers. Why are you wearing white socks?

0:08:52 > 0:08:55You have to wear black socks. Do you have black socks?

0:08:55 > 0:08:59- No.- You have to buy.- No money.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02If you keep talking back to me, I'll send you to the Principal.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06- OK.- Want to go to the Principal? - No.- Good.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Saqlain was talking back to me and that is not acceptable.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12On the first day, I'll give him a chance,

0:09:12 > 0:09:14but if he do that again, there will be consequences.

0:09:16 > 0:09:20After a stern talking to, it's off to their first class where boys

0:09:20 > 0:09:22and girls sit separately.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Time for an introduction to school custom.

0:09:25 > 0:09:30OK, this is not how we greet in Malay Muslim society.

0:09:30 > 0:09:31What you're supposed to do,

0:09:31 > 0:09:34is you're supposed to hold my hand and kiss.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37That's right. Would you like to try? Very good.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40It's certainly worlds apart from Glasgow and that's not the

0:09:40 > 0:09:43only difference as the boys learn Malay.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46THEY SPEAK MALAY

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Very good. I have homework for you to do tomorrow.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58You're supposed to address yourself in Malay in front of the school

0:09:58 > 0:10:02and you have to recite the national pledge also.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05- That's too much.- I know it is.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09We're meant to recite this for tomorrow in an assembly

0:10:09 > 0:10:12in front of the whole school, so that's not too good.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17Before they can master the pledge, there are more pressing matters.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20To pass extreme school, the boys must complete an end of week

0:10:20 > 0:10:24challenge and Mr Isham has summoned them for a demonstration.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33The Singaporean boyband, Irsyadee, were pupils at the school so

0:10:33 > 0:10:36Saqlain and Reagan have a lot to live up to.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38At the end of this week, we're putting up

0:10:38 > 0:10:40a show for the school to celebrate.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42You'll be joining this group.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44You'll be wearing the costume

0:10:44 > 0:10:47and the rest of the school will be watching you.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50As well as performing a traditional Singaporean Indang dance routine,

0:10:50 > 0:10:53the boys will need to compose and recite a poem

0:10:53 > 0:10:55reflecting their time at the school.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58The dance looked quite easy but it's probably more difficult

0:10:58 > 0:10:59than it actually is.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02We will not do this in Glasgow because it would be too embarrassing

0:11:02 > 0:11:04and everyone would start laughing.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17The school day in Glasgow starts at 8.45 but at 7.15am

0:11:17 > 0:11:19in Singapore, assembly is about to begin.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24- Actually, it's so early, it's unbelievable.- I know.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27This morning, the boys must introduce themselves to the whole

0:11:27 > 0:11:31school in Malay and recite the national pledge.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34I've never done anything like this before

0:11:34 > 0:11:37and it is getting a bit nerve-racking.

0:11:37 > 0:11:38I'm feeling a bit nervous, as well,

0:11:38 > 0:11:41because there's too many people in the school.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49Today we have special guests from UK.

0:11:52 > 0:11:53Hello.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55- ALL:- Hello.

0:11:59 > 0:12:04BOTH: We, the citizens of Singapore pledge ourselves as one united

0:12:04 > 0:12:09people regardless of race, language or religion to build

0:12:09 > 0:12:14a democratic society based on justice and equality.

0:12:14 > 0:12:20To achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for our nation.

0:12:25 > 0:12:29Thank you, boys. Please take a seat. Join the class.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32I'd say it was a successful first morning.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Getting the homework out the way. Done and dusted.- Yeah.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36- That's us.- That's us done.

0:12:38 > 0:12:42Homework completed, it's straight into a full timetable.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47First up, Islamic studies with Mr Mustaqim...

0:12:47 > 0:12:49Denial on earth as a human being, you need to be

0:12:49 > 0:12:51truthful in whatever you do.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53Chin up. Sit properly.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56..brushing up on the local language...

0:12:56 > 0:12:58How do you say good morning in Malay?

0:12:58 > 0:13:00HE SPEAKS MALAY

0:13:00 > 0:13:03HE REPEATS GREETING

0:13:03 > 0:13:06..and lunch, Singapore style.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10I thought it was nice. Feels a bit weird eating with your hands.

0:13:10 > 0:13:11I eat with my hands anyway.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14I only eat with my hands if I'm having chips.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23After a busy day of lessons, Reagan and Saqlain have their first

0:13:23 > 0:13:26dance rehearsal for the final challenge.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29So, it's one, two, three, four.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32One, two, three, four.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37I thought, when I first walked in, it was going to be nice and calm,

0:13:37 > 0:13:39but it was actually quite fast.

0:13:39 > 0:13:43You had no time to think and you just had to go and do it.

0:13:43 > 0:13:44Yes.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49The pressure is on us,

0:13:49 > 0:13:51because we've only got a couple of days to learn it.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54The kids that we're doing it with, they've been doing it for ages.

0:13:54 > 0:13:55OK, thank you.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Learning the moves is only half the performance and Ms Ishak

0:13:58 > 0:14:00wants to work on their poems.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03Give me some examples of your poetry.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05I came to Singapore to explore.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08I came to a school, because it was cool.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11Because it was cool, all right. Second line.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13I'm going to have to figure that out.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15You got anything?

0:14:15 > 0:14:16OK.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18I'm feeling quite nervous about writing the poem.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Just trying to get the words in together

0:14:20 > 0:14:23and making it make sense and then saying it in front of

0:14:23 > 0:14:25a lot of people, so, yes, it's quite nerve-racking.

0:14:34 > 0:14:38Back in Glasgow, the boys struggle with discipline at school,

0:14:38 > 0:14:41so a lesson in Silat could help them focus.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43You have to wear these.

0:14:43 > 0:14:47Dating back to the 7th century, Silat describes various martial

0:14:47 > 0:14:49arts practised in South East Asia.

0:14:51 > 0:14:55Mr Shakia will be showing Reagan and Saqlain the ropes.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Excuse me. What are you doing? Do you think this is funny?- No.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01Take it off right now and start wearing on your waist.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07Reagan was wearing a headband which is disrespectful to our culture.

0:15:07 > 0:15:11I don't want any nonsense from you guys. OK, understand?

0:15:11 > 0:15:13The teacher is very strict.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16I think I might listen to his rules and probably obey them.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18HE CALLS OUT INSTRUCTIONS

0:15:18 > 0:15:19ALL REPLY

0:15:19 > 0:15:22Good. When I say, first, punch forward and back.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24ALL: Huh!

0:15:24 > 0:15:25And sprint.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27Two, one.

0:15:27 > 0:15:28And, huh!

0:15:28 > 0:15:29ALL: Huh!

0:15:29 > 0:15:32It's really, really tiring.

0:15:32 > 0:15:33Push.

0:15:34 > 0:15:35Elbow.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Side kick.

0:15:39 > 0:15:40Yeah.

0:15:40 > 0:15:41Very good.

0:15:41 > 0:15:45Mr Mustaqim was right, that has disciplined us quite a bit.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48HE SHOUTS INSTRUCTIONS ALL: Huh!

0:15:51 > 0:15:54With a successful Silat session under their belts,

0:15:54 > 0:15:56things are looking up,

0:15:56 > 0:15:59but hawk-eyed Mr Mustaqim is conducting

0:15:59 > 0:16:01a random uniform inspection.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03Raise your trousers, your pants.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Why are you still wearing white socks?- I forgot.

0:16:09 > 0:16:10- Yo.- This is not black.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12I told you on the first day,

0:16:12 > 0:16:14- you have to wear black socks. - I don't have any.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17My black socks are dirty, so I'm not going to put on dirty socks.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24You didn't follow the rules, you have to clean up the toilets.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27- I'm not cleaning the toilet! - Nah, not for socks, mate.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29- OK, follow me now. - I'm not cleaning toilets.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32I'm going to use the toilet, I'm not cleaning the toilet.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Quiet. Don't talk back to me.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40A bit annoyed why he's telling us to go and clean the toilet

0:16:40 > 0:16:43just because we've got different colour socks than black.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45This is for both of you.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47Clean up the toilet.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49And later, I'll do my inspection.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51- Hold it.- You hold it.

0:16:53 > 0:16:54Yes.

0:16:56 > 0:16:57Oh, it stinks in here.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00I hope that they learn something from this punishment.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02They have to stick to the school rules.

0:17:06 > 0:17:07So, you know why you are here.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09Because I'm wearing blue socks.

0:17:11 > 0:17:12- You're supposed to wear...?- Black.

0:17:12 > 0:17:17I don't want to see any black stains.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20If we'd just brought black socks neither of us would be here

0:17:20 > 0:17:22so we should have stuck to the uniform rule.

0:17:22 > 0:17:23HE SIGHS

0:17:26 > 0:17:30- So, what have you learned? - Don't break the rules.

0:17:30 > 0:17:31Good, you may go to your class now.

0:17:36 > 0:17:40Uniform transgressions flushed out, the boys return to class,

0:17:40 > 0:17:43a technology lesson building robots.

0:17:43 > 0:17:44As soon as this is finished,

0:17:44 > 0:17:47- is it going to be a big moving contraption?- Maybe.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56Is it important to work hard in Singapore?

0:17:56 > 0:17:59Yeah, for you to get a job, the education is really important.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02I want to be a doctor or a pilot.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04- Really?- Yes.

0:18:04 > 0:18:08Do you really work hard in school to be a doctor or a pilot?

0:18:08 > 0:18:11No, I don't, that's why I'm here.

0:18:11 > 0:18:15I'm very impressed with the school because they work hard.

0:18:16 > 0:18:17I don't work hard.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22The Singaporean students seem to have made an impression

0:18:22 > 0:18:25on Saqlain, but will it rub off on Reagan at today's rehearsal?

0:18:26 > 0:18:29THEY GIGGLE

0:18:29 > 0:18:32Look, boys, your performance is in two days.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35You have to be serious. OK?

0:18:35 > 0:18:39You do start to feel the pressure aspect of it.

0:18:39 > 0:18:40The nerves are getting to you now.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43It's less than 48 hours until the final challenge

0:18:43 > 0:18:47and their poems still aren't finished. Will they be ready?

0:18:57 > 0:19:00A concerned Mr Isham has arranged for the boys to meet some people

0:19:00 > 0:19:03he hopes will inspire them.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Hi.- Hi, Reagan. I'm Gary. - Hi, Gary.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09Sport is the only lesson Reagan rates at school.

0:19:09 > 0:19:13He's meeting Gary Yeo, a 100-metre Olympic athlete

0:19:13 > 0:19:16who competed in London 2012.

0:19:16 > 0:19:21I'll show you some stats today and we can see how you go from here.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24Your ankle must be tight like this.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27So, set, go!

0:19:29 > 0:19:32- Is it better now? - Yes, that's better.

0:19:32 > 0:19:36- Shall we do the 100 metres now? - Yeah. Yeah.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38Show me where to start the 100 metres.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41- That's a start so feeling confident. - Set.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Go!

0:19:53 > 0:19:55You did it in 13.95. That's pretty good.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00- You want to be a professional athlete?- Yeah.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03You can't just be a sport champion,

0:20:03 > 0:20:06and not do well in your studies. You must do well in both.

0:20:06 > 0:20:11Do you pay attention to all your teachers in school, in lessons?

0:20:11 > 0:20:14I don't pay attention all the time, no.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16You need to look up your teachers, you know,

0:20:16 > 0:20:19treat them like your coaches.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22They are basically your coaches for your mind.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24I think you'll go far.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29Meanwhile, Saqlain is off to flight school.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32- Hi, you must be Saqlain.- Yeah. - My name is Leonard. I'm a pilot.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35- I heard you wanted to be a pilot? - I am very excited to be a pilot.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38I have something you might enjoy. So, this way, please.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Whoa.- This is it.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45This is a cockpit of a 737, so what do you think of it?

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Oh, this is sick!

0:20:47 > 0:20:49Used to train commercial pilots,

0:20:49 > 0:20:52the simulator offers an immersive flight experience

0:20:52 > 0:20:55and has over 24,000 airports to choose from.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58So, Captain Saqlain where would you like to fly to today?

0:20:58 > 0:20:59- New York.- Off we go.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03D1 rotate. Now, pull up,

0:21:03 > 0:21:06and bring the nose up to 15 degrees.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08That's very good.

0:21:11 > 0:21:12Keep turning to the left.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16This is very cool.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Is that OK?- That's OK.

0:21:21 > 0:21:25There's two runways. We are heading to the one on the left, OK?

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Very good.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31Perfect. Now, 50, bring the power all the way back.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Keep your eyes on the runway

0:21:33 > 0:21:36and gently raise up the nose for a gentle touchdown.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42Very good.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44Saqlain has a good chance to be a pilot

0:21:44 > 0:21:47and just as long as he works hard in school, he has done very well.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49So flaps to 30.

0:21:49 > 0:21:50BEEPING

0:21:50 > 0:21:53Being in the cockpit was really, really amazing for me.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55It was a really good experience and it inspired me

0:21:55 > 0:21:57even more to become a pilot.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02Back at school, the boys catch up on their day.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05After meeting Gary, it does show how much you do need to respect

0:22:05 > 0:22:07your teachers and all that.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10I know. I think I might change after this.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12Yeah.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14The rules are still really annoying,

0:22:14 > 0:22:17but you can see why they are in place.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20It seems their time in Singapore is encouraging them to focus

0:22:20 > 0:22:23on their future, but will this change of heart help them

0:22:23 > 0:22:25with their final challenge tomorrow?

0:22:33 > 0:22:36It's Reagan and Saqlain's last day in Singapore.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41Their final challenge is only hours away and they're still not ready.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43THEY SING IN MALAY

0:22:47 > 0:22:49I keep messing up the dance routine.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52- Aye, I'm doing it, you're not. - You keep hitting me.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55I want to get this right. I don't want to let the school down.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Today, the school is putting on a concert to showcase

0:22:59 > 0:23:03the students' talents and the theatre is filling fast.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06OK, these are your costumes.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09The boys have top billing and will be performing alongside

0:23:09 > 0:23:11some of the school's most gifted pupils.

0:23:14 > 0:23:15I'm a little bit nervous today.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17This is a very important school performance.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20I really hope they are able to do themselves proud.

0:23:25 > 0:23:29If anything goes wrong it will be in front of some very important people.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32- Hello, sir, how are you? - How are you?- Welcome to the school.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Thank you very much. - Come, please.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38Antony Phillipson, the British High Commissioner to Singapore,

0:23:38 > 0:23:42will be in a front-row seat alongside Dr Yaacob Ibrahim

0:23:42 > 0:23:45Singaporean Minister in charge of Muslim Affairs.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47Well, I'm looking forward to the boys' performance to see

0:23:47 > 0:23:50whether they've understood what the school is doing

0:23:50 > 0:23:51and show this in their performance.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54They will remember this experience for the rest of their lives.

0:23:57 > 0:24:00APPLAUSE

0:24:00 > 0:24:02THEY SING

0:24:02 > 0:24:05- Have you seen how many people are out there?- No.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08HE SINGS

0:24:08 > 0:24:10APPLAUSE

0:24:10 > 0:24:12It's show-time.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS

0:24:19 > 0:24:22APPLAUSE

0:24:27 > 0:24:29THEY SING IN MALAY

0:24:46 > 0:24:49THEY SING IN MALAY

0:24:57 > 0:25:01APPLAUSE

0:25:01 > 0:25:04The dance is a hit, but the boys still need to finish

0:25:04 > 0:25:06with their poems.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17When I stepped off the plane I loved the views

0:25:17 > 0:25:21The palm trees, the heat and the high-rise buildings

0:25:21 > 0:25:24I learned to speak in Malay in only just one day

0:25:24 > 0:25:27I love being at this school where you must respect the rule

0:25:27 > 0:25:30The teachers and the pupils have been so kind to me

0:25:30 > 0:25:32I would just like to thank them for putting up with me.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38APPLAUSE

0:25:42 > 0:25:46I came to Singapore and I wanted to explore

0:25:46 > 0:25:49I went to Al-Irsyad School to learn to respect the rules

0:25:49 > 0:25:53All the kids were kind so I really didn't mind

0:25:53 > 0:25:57Silat was new to me and the challenge suited me

0:25:57 > 0:26:00Thank you for this chance to learn the Indang dance.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04APPLAUSE

0:26:10 > 0:26:12I'm happy with that. Yes.

0:26:12 > 0:26:16I'm proud of us too, because we put a lot of work into the rehearsals.

0:26:18 > 0:26:21Boys, I'd like you to meet the High Commissioner.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24- Hello. How are you? - I'm fine. How are you?

0:26:24 > 0:26:26I'm very well. Thank you very much indeed.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29Are you going to do the dance for your friends back at school?

0:26:29 > 0:26:31No! That is not going back to school.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34I thought the boys' performance on stage was absolutely superb.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36Doing something different, outside their comfort zone.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38I thought it was brilliant.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41- You did very well today.- Thank you, sir.- I'm very proud of you.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43Today, they did a very fantastic job. Wow.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Well done.- Thank you for letting us come here.- Thank you.- Great.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49CHEERING

0:26:49 > 0:26:53At the beginning of the week, both Reagan and Saqlain were misbehaving.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55But today, they really turned it around

0:26:55 > 0:26:57and I'm very impressed with them.

0:27:00 > 0:27:01Terima kasih.

0:27:01 > 0:27:04What I've been taught here I can take that back to Glasgow

0:27:04 > 0:27:08because my teachers really want to see a change in me.

0:27:08 > 0:27:09- All the best to you.- Thank you.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11What I've learned about teachers is

0:27:11 > 0:27:13they're not just there to shout at you and pick on you,

0:27:13 > 0:27:15they're there so they can help you

0:27:15 > 0:27:17and just get everything done in life.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21Reagan and Saqlain are heading home.

0:27:21 > 0:27:25Will their behaviour be any better back in Glasgow?

0:27:25 > 0:27:28Join us in the final show when the boys find out

0:27:28 > 0:27:31if they've done enough to graduate from extreme school.

0:27:35 > 0:27:36Next time...

0:27:36 > 0:27:38Take your elbows off of my desk.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41..two girls from Essex who always misbehave...

0:27:41 > 0:27:44- Come to my office. - ..head to the cold climes of Alaska.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46They just made us shovel the whole pathway.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48How will they cope at this extreme school?

0:27:50 > 0:27:51I hate this school.
