0:00:02 > 0:00:05- Today... - Take your elbows off of my desk.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10..two trouble-making teens from Essex head stateside
0:00:10 > 0:00:13to a strict school in the harsh climes of Alaska.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14I can't feel my bum right now.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17There's zero tolerance for bad behaviour...
0:00:17 > 0:00:19- In my office.- Oh.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22..and tough punishments for falling foul of the rules.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24I've shovelled the whole pathway.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Can they last a week at this extreme school?
0:00:28 > 0:00:29I hate this school.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Are you on the fast track to fail at school?
0:00:58 > 0:01:03Do you think it's more important to check your looks than your books?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06If getting into trouble is part of your daily timetable,
0:01:06 > 0:01:08then five days at one of the world's strictest schools
0:01:08 > 0:01:11could be the most important lesson you'll ever learn.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Today, I'm at a school in Essex.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18I'm here to surprise a couple of lippy loudmouths
0:01:18 > 0:01:22who think that school only exists to improve their social life.
0:01:24 > 0:01:2613-year-old Macey loves to chat
0:01:26 > 0:01:28and is always determined
0:01:28 > 0:01:30to get her point across to teachers.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I will argue with them because I think it's funny.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36I'm normally in detention like every day.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Her mischievous mate
0:01:37 > 0:01:39is 13-year-old Trewley,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41who doesn't see the point in school
0:01:41 > 0:01:43and prefers her own agenda.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47In class, I won't pay attention cos I think it's boring
0:01:47 > 0:01:48and I'd rather chat to my friends.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Their behaviour is spiralling out of control.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Before I meet Macey and Trewley,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03I need to gather data for my Extreme School dossier.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06So, tell me, what's Macey like at school?
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Oh! Macey!
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Well, she thinks the whole world revolves around her.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Macey has a big problem with authority.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17It's almost like she likes getting into trouble.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Tell me, what's Trewley like in the classroom?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Trewley is overflowing with opinion and, unfortunately,
0:02:26 > 0:02:28she often is disruptive in the classroom.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32And what are the girls like with their uniform?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35It's almost my daily challenge to get them both
0:02:35 > 0:02:37in the correct uniform.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40My tie's not straight. My skirt's rolled up.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42We've got too much make up on.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46They've always got to say something, even if nothing's wrong.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48I've collected the evidence and the results are truly -
0:02:48 > 0:02:50and Macey - astounding.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51It's time for this double act
0:02:51 > 0:02:55to swap their school bags for suitcases.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Hello, everyone, I'm Susan Calman from Extreme School.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00CHEERING
0:03:00 > 0:03:05Lovely! Now, I'm here today to see Macey and Trewley.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Do you want to join me at the front, ladies?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Come and join me at the front. Great.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Now, Trewley, I've been told you just can't stop chatting
0:03:14 > 0:03:17and you're always talking, la-la-la-la-la, through lessons.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Is that right? Yeah?- Yeah.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23And Macey, I hear you that have problems arguing with your teachers.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- Is that right? - I'm one of them people,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27if I think something, I just have to say it.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Well, it's obvious that both of you could do
0:03:28 > 0:03:30with a spell at an extreme school.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33I've got the perfect one for you both.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Oh, my God.- Honestly, it's a doozy.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42At this school, you have to dress with decorum and modesty
0:03:42 > 0:03:45and your skirt must always be below the knee.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Oh, my God, that's never going to happen.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51At this school, you have to talk in every class
0:03:51 > 0:03:52with lessons including formal debate
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- and everyone is expected to take part.- How boring.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01At this school, you'll learn how to survive in freezing conditions.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03You're going to an extreme school
0:04:03 > 0:04:06in one of the coldest places on earth - Alaska.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09CHEERING AND SCREAMING
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I can get to see a penguin!
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I expect them to treat every adult
0:04:16 > 0:04:19with whom they come in contact with respect.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Goodbye, girls, and good luck. - Thanks.- Bye.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Good luck.- Goodbye.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34Me and Macey are going to Alaska and I think it's going to be a disaster.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Macey and Trewley will be travelling
0:04:45 > 0:04:49almost 4,500 miles west of the UK.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Situated within the most north western American state of Alaska,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55the city of Anchorage is known for its harsh winters,
0:04:55 > 0:05:00where temperatures regularly plummet to ten degrees below freezing.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02It's also home to the Holy Rosary Academy,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05where principal Neumayr is at the helm.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08We expect exemplary behaviour from our students.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12They must respect their teachers and their classmates
0:05:12 > 0:05:15and they must obey all the rules.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16A strict Catholic school,
0:05:16 > 0:05:21students are expected to show good moral behaviour at all times.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24With only 115 pupils in the whole school,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26the principal has eyes on everyone.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35After years of misbehaving,
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Holy Rosary Academy could be Macey and Trewley's final opportunity
0:05:39 > 0:05:42to improve their behaviour.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44But can they adjust to the climate?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Alaska is freezing!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49It's probably like minus 20.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51And I can't feel my bum right now.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59With less than six hours of daylight in the winter,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02every school day at Holy Rosary starts in the dark.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- It's like ten past seven. - And it's still not light.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07For the next five days,
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Macey and Trewley will be the school's newest pupils.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I can already see people in uniforms.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15To graduate successfully, they must -
0:06:15 > 0:06:17stick to the school rules,
0:06:17 > 0:06:19follow a uniform and no make-up policy
0:06:19 > 0:06:22and pass an end-of-week challenge.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Time to meet the lady who will be keeping them
0:06:25 > 0:06:29in check this week - the school's principal, Miss Neumayr.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32It's nice to meet you. Would you like to come to my office, please?
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Yes.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37In a school known for its impeccable standards, can they impress?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39The first thing I'm going to ask you to do
0:06:39 > 0:06:42is to take your elbows off of my desk and sit up straight
0:06:42 > 0:06:45and, Trewley, I'd like you to take off your sunglasses,
0:06:45 > 0:06:48cos I'd like to look you straight in the eye.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51So, it's very important that you're attentive in class,
0:06:51 > 0:06:54that you're always listening to what's going on
0:06:54 > 0:06:56with the general discussion. So, Trewley, tell me
0:06:56 > 0:06:59a little bit about what your hopes are for your future.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I want to be a history teacher
0:07:01 > 0:07:04or a famous actress like what everyone knows.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Well, you know that I'm very excited about the idea
0:07:07 > 0:07:09of being a history teacher.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11What are you hoping to do, Macey?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- I don't really know, to be honest. - For example...
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I just change my mind all the time.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Yes. Now, we do not allow for students to wear make-up.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22We're not actually wearing like loads of make-up, though.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25I am pleased to see that you have very little make-up,
0:07:25 > 0:07:27so it will be easy to remove.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Make-up for girls under 14 is banned
0:07:31 > 0:07:35and all students must adhere to the school's uniform policy,
0:07:35 > 0:07:40something Macey and Trewley refuse to do back in Essex.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43All right, ladies, it's time to put on your uniform.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44I will leave you to it.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50What is that?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52What is... That's a curtain. I'm not a curtain.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I'll just roll it up.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Let's get changed.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01TREWLY LAUGHS
0:08:01 > 0:08:05We find that when students take the time to dress well and modestly,
0:08:05 > 0:08:09their behaviour in class corresponds to the way in which they're dressed.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Here they are.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Let me take a look at what you're wearing in your hair.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Your hair is a little bit on the zany side.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Right now, it's making probably too much of a statement.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Normally one for an argument, Macey appears lost for words.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Off you go, back in, fix your hair and I'll see you in a minute.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29I hate everyone.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32What's happening, my hair's making a statement.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35A statement about what? You've got a bit of glam in it.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40They've given in to longer skirts and calmed their zany hair.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Excellent.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43But there's one rule they're determined to flout.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Let's see. You still seem to have a lot of mascara on.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50If you'll just clean your eyes off, and then we'll be done.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I hate this school.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02The girls finally look like model pupils,
0:09:02 > 0:09:06but that won't be enough at the highly academic Holy Rosary.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Talkative Macey and disruptive Trewley will need to curb
0:09:10 > 0:09:12their behaviour and respect their teachers.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15First on the timetable, English.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Have you ever studied Shakespeare before?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Yeah, we do it like every day. So boring.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25All I know is that Shakespeare was an old geezer
0:09:25 > 0:09:28who did a play called Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34When we think UK, we associate that with class and sophistication,
0:09:34 > 0:09:35and we were disappointed
0:09:35 > 0:09:39because they didn't really fall into that category.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Right, well, I thought today we would talk about
0:09:42 > 0:09:46why is Shakespeare read and performed by so many generations.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- Yes?- Can I just say, what do you think, like, English,
0:09:49 > 0:09:51like English people are like?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Do you think, like, we love tea and stuff and we're like,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56"Ooh, look at my pinky?"
0:09:58 > 0:10:01They talked out of turn. They giggled. They doodled.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05They had private conversations. They didn't behave exceptionally.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Oh, my gosh, are you that bored?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Teachers at Holy Rosary don't give any time
0:10:12 > 0:10:14to attention seekers in class.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20At the end of their first lesson,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Macey and Trewley's attitude hasn't endeared them to anyone.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27When you go to your next classes here at Holy Rosary,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29always remember to be appropriate with your questions
0:10:29 > 0:10:31and, you know, just not a lot of laughing
0:10:31 > 0:10:34and giggling amongst each other.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Will a jam-packed schedule help them focus?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42They girls participate in complex geometry...
0:10:42 > 0:10:45B, C, D.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47..Alaskan tribal games.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57That's close enough.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00We've got to pull this stick and whoever let's go first, loses.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Steady, go.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07And for lunch, a reindeer sandwich.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10That's so nice.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14I'm not eating Rudolph. Or Dancer. Or Prancer.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Or Dasher. Or Vixen.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20BEAR ROARS
0:11:22 > 0:11:26To pass Extreme School, the girls have to complete a final challenge.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29You will be working towards this Friday, when you'll be giving
0:11:29 > 0:11:30a classical presentation
0:11:30 > 0:11:32to the entire student body.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34How does that sound to you?
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Easy.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38We'll see if you can do what the students do
0:11:38 > 0:11:42in half a year in half a week.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45All Holy Rosary pupils must pick a topic to discuss
0:11:45 > 0:11:48and debate its pros and cons before they graduate.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Can Trewley and Macey rise to the challenge?
0:11:59 > 0:12:03It's 7.40am and it's below freezing on the girls' second day.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Oh, I'm so cold.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07This disruptive duo are heading to their first assembly,
0:12:07 > 0:12:10a chance to make a good impression on the whole school.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16I'm going to take a moment to introduce you to Macey.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- Macey, wave.- Hiya.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19OK, and we also have Trewley.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Hee.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25OK, excuse me, ladies.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28This is an assembly and everybody gives me due respect
0:12:28 > 0:12:30and I'm going to ask that of you as well.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31I told her to shut up.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34OK. You need to go to my office for now...
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- Yeah, probably.- ..until you can compose yourself?- Yeah.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41OK. Why don't you compose yourself for a moment.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44It's a terrible start to their second day.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47It's our first assembly.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50We got kicked out after... We weren't in there for a minute.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54As assembly continues without them, the girls have time to reflect.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57At first we was a bit like angry, but when we sat there
0:12:57 > 0:13:00and we thought about it, we kind of realised
0:13:00 > 0:13:02that we're in their school, we're in their environment.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05So, we thought we might as well just apologise or something.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07A kind of rough start to the morning.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I really, really don't want it to continue.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12We're sorry.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Oh, I appreciate that.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16I don't think when the two of you are sitting shoulder to shoulder
0:13:16 > 0:13:18it does you much good.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- I'll have you sit in separate places. OK?- OK.- All right.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26The girls will need to work harder than ever
0:13:26 > 0:13:27to show that they can knuckle down.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Sitting at opposite ends of the classroom should help.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33So, what country today speaks Latin?
0:13:33 > 0:13:37In their first ever Latin lesson, they begin with basic verbs.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42Disco, discus, discit, discamus.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47- And Trewley? - Scribo, scribus, scribit, scribimus.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Good work.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Next up, some translation.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55It's so hard. Trewley's getting the hang of it.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Hurry to your table.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00I was impressed with the way Trewley performed.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04She possibly didn't even know what Latin was, you know, a week ago.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06I wrote all the paragraphs out on the board.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08I think I did all right in it.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I was a bit lost.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Oh, only one sentence.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17I barely even know my own language, let alone Latin.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19THEY GIGGLE
0:14:28 > 0:14:31All pupils are given lessons in outdoor survival,
0:14:31 > 0:14:35a vital skill in a city with snow storms and sub-zero temperatures.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Today it's Macey and Trewley's turn.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41It can be a very cold and threatening place.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46If you run into dangers in terms of weather, it's life or death
0:14:46 > 0:14:47and it can be in moments.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52First, and under strict supervision,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55the girls are shown the correct way to light a fire.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00So, flint and steel, when you strike them together, you get some sparks.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Press hard. There you go.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Mace, I did it.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06High-five, girl.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09I think it's safe to say I won the fire competition.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14If you was ever stuck in the snow one night,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17that's what you'd do to keep yourself warm?
0:15:17 > 0:15:18I'm going in it.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21It is actually quite warm in here.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- HE LAUGHS - All right, night.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29How do you attract mooses?
0:15:29 > 0:15:30You can make a moose call.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31How do you do that?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- You've got to plug your nose.- Right.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36SHE PUSHES AIR THROUGH NOSE
0:15:38 > 0:15:39No moose in sight,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42but they've shown they can stay focused without misbehaving.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43Looks really pretty.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- Today has been amazing. I've loved it.- It's been amazing.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Back at school,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02the girls are preparing for their debating challenge,
0:16:02 > 0:16:07but they still haven't decided what they're going to talk about.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Let me think, let me think.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- What about... Why can't we have our hair how we want it?- Yeah.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Why aren't skirts above the knee?
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Why shouldn't we wear make-up?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- Yeah.- That sounds great.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28At Holy Rosary, students are expected to engage in serious debate
0:16:28 > 0:16:31and the girls have finally agreed on a topic.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- Is friendship the most important thing in the world?- Yeah.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37They'll need to form a reasoned argument
0:16:37 > 0:16:41if they stand any chance of passing their final challenge.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44It's a new day.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46It's so cold.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Despite temperatures of minus two degrees,
0:16:48 > 0:16:52the girls' attitude to Holy Rosary is beginning to thaw.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54But some habits are hard to break.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I'm seeing some blush or something,
0:16:56 > 0:16:58so I'm going to ask you clean on off your face.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01And then I just need you to take off the eye make-up
0:17:01 > 0:17:02and you'll be good to go.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04And take the hair down.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07And I'd like you to plait it really quickly
0:17:07 > 0:17:08and then we can start our day.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10All right?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Oh, why!
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Does it even look like I'm wearing any?
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Yeah, you're orange.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I'm disappointed with Trewley and Macey.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25They're not interested in being part of the harmony
0:17:25 > 0:17:28and the respectful nature of the campus.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Because of starting the morning like this,
0:17:36 > 0:17:41I'm going to have you do a couple of chores with me this morning.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44There's one part of the campus that has not been shovelled.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Let's not have any uniform issues whatsoever.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Clearing snow at 9am in the dark probably isn't what the girls
0:17:52 > 0:17:54had in mind to start their day.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58The principal made us shovel the whole pathway,
0:17:58 > 0:17:59so it was safe for the other kids to walk on.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Even though, even though when she was standing there
0:18:02 > 0:18:05she could have grabbed a shovel and done it with us.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Or she could have done it herself.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09No matter how many times we clean this,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12there's still going to be snow on it.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Tomorrow morning, you wake up and you say,
0:18:14 > 0:18:17"I don't really feel like shovelling.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19"I know I look really nice without make-up anyway.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21"I'm just not going to fight it."
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Punishment completed,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28can Trewley and Macey start turning things around?
0:18:28 > 0:18:31What part of that reaction is it taking out?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33- It's taking out the H2O.- Exactly.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Under Holy Rosary's strict regime, it seems to be working.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Hitler's obviously swinging to the monkey bars.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42OK, nice work.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43After a productive morning,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Miss Neumayr has an exciting opportunity for Trewley.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Remember when I asked you what you wanted to be?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51You mentioned being a history teacher.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56I'd love to have you teach some of the children.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- Does that sound fun? - Yeah, thanks.- Good.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Trewley is being trusted to take charge of a class
0:19:01 > 0:19:04of five to eight-year-olds all by herself.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Hello. EVERYONE: Hello.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08When she speaks on Friday,
0:19:08 > 0:19:11the benefits of speaking in front of our little ones
0:19:11 > 0:19:13and keeping their attention will be a great asset.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16So, does anybody know anything about England?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- The capital is London.- Yeah?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Trewley decides to teach the kids about World War II,
0:19:22 > 0:19:24using her own unique method.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27We're going to call these Germany.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29You guys have got to tickle the British people.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Two, three, go on. Go, tickle, tickle them.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38They just got tickled by the Germans and they don't like it.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Right, show me your angry face. Grr, grr.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45We were tickling each other because we were having a war.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47It was so fun.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Go, fast as you can. Tickle them.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56That was so brilliant. You made it so age appropriate.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Those kids will never forget World War II.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- They really enjoyed it. So thank you.- Thank you.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Whoo! CHILDREN CHEER
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Today was really good.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07We had a rough 20 minutes at the start,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09but I think we had a really good day.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11We did all our work in lessons and it was really good.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Holy Rosary students are expected to be good citizens
0:20:24 > 0:20:25and well-equipped to help others.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28With the girls' final day fast approaching,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Miss Neumayr wants them to play their part.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Once a month, our students provide community service
0:20:34 > 0:20:38to places around the city of Anchorage that are in need of help.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40They'll be helping out at Bean's Cafe,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43a centre providing homeless people with food and shelter
0:20:43 > 0:20:44from the brutal elements.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48OK, ladies, I'm going to show you how we serve here.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Supervisor and head chef Pam, who oversees 25 volunteers a day,
0:20:52 > 0:20:54will be showing them the ropes.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56One ladle full of sauce right over the noodles.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Put the fork on the tray and then it goes right up in the window.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02OK, ladies.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- Thank you.- You're welcome.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Hello.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13So hard to keep up and be quick.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16So busy.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- Everyone was smiling. - Everyone's like really appreciative.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20- Hello.- Yeah.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24I've never done anything like this before.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28The girls are doing a great job.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30I just think it's a very good learning experience.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Just so they can see just how fortunate they are.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39It's times like this when you realise what you've got.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Lunch time rush over, Pam wants to see
0:21:42 > 0:21:44if it's given Macey food for thought.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49My mum's a palliative care nurse, so she helps the elderly.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51And now I've done this, like, when I'm older I want to...
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I want to help people out.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I've heard that you've had some behavioural problems in school
0:21:56 > 0:21:57- and stuff.- Yeah.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00So right now, good grades,
0:22:00 > 0:22:04being respectful to those who are in authority is very important.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09I hope that you realise that some changes need to be made.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14Makes me feel I need to start knuckling down with my work.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15I just wish you the best.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18You guys are lovely girls, both of you.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Thank you.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22It was brilliant. It was...
0:22:22 > 0:22:23So good. Really liked it.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28Really good experience and I'd love to do something like it again.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Again, yeah.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32They've had a positive day at Bean's Cafe,
0:22:32 > 0:22:36but their time in Alaska is almost over and tomorrow is judgment day.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46It's our last day at Holy Rosary Academy.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Academy.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51This afternoon Macey and Trewley must complete their final challenge,
0:22:51 > 0:22:55delivering their classical presentation.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58They need to present reasoned arguments on their chosen topic -
0:22:58 > 0:22:59the importance of friendship.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Principal Neumayr is guiding them through a last-minute rehearsal.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Good morning, everybody, my name is Macey.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08And I... And my name is Trewley.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11OK. Your projection, Macey, is excellent.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16Trewley, if you will just increase the volume, OK.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18As if the challenge itself isn't enough,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Mrs Neumayr is piling on the pressure.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25I wanted to let you know that I have invited a very special guest,
0:23:25 > 0:23:28and it is the mayor of Anchorage.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32That's just dropped a bubble of pressure on my head.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34I have every reason to believe that,
0:23:34 > 0:23:36though they are a little rough around the edges now,
0:23:36 > 0:23:40they will be ready to go when the mayor arrives.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50- Loads of people inside. - Loads of people there.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Yes, loads.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55As the school hall fills up, anticipation is running high.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57I don't really know what to expect.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I think they're really going to pull it off.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02With two minutes to go,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05the guests of honour take their seats -
0:24:05 > 0:24:08The mayor of Anchorage, his wife, the first lady,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11and the local priest, Father Elliott.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14I think we are getting a bit nervous cos I can't stop laughing.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16We're getting a bit nervous, but it's all going to be good.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18We're going to do it perfect.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Prove everyone wrong.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26This week we have enjoyed having two students come to us
0:24:26 > 0:24:28from the United Kingdom.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31They have practised and prepared something for you,
0:24:31 > 0:24:37so it is my great pleasure to introduce to you Macey and Trewley.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39CLAPPING
0:24:39 > 0:24:40They've pushed boundaries
0:24:40 > 0:24:42and sometimes strayed from school rules.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Can they now finally knuckle down and behave like Holy Rosary pupils
0:24:46 > 0:24:50or will this outspoken pair clam up under the pressure?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Good morning, everybody.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Today we would like to debate the subject of friendship.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59So, we want to ask, is friendship the most important thing in the world?
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Trewley is my best friend
0:25:03 > 0:25:06because we feel really comfortable with each other
0:25:06 > 0:25:08and we share everything we have together.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11She is Trewley loyal.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12EVERYONE CHUCKLES
0:25:12 > 0:25:16A friend is someone who is always loyal to you.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18As President Roosevelt once said,
0:25:18 > 0:25:20"It is better to be faithful than famous."
0:25:20 > 0:25:22I would really love to be famous,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25but never at the cost of losing my friendship with Macey.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28They've presented a reasoned argument for their statement.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Now they must argue against it.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33There is no doubt friendship is very important,
0:25:33 > 0:25:36but we disagree that it is the most important thing.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40We believe that family is the most important relationship in the world
0:25:40 > 0:25:42because they're the ones you were brought up with.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44They're the ones that put a roof over your head
0:25:44 > 0:25:46and clothes on your back.
0:25:46 > 0:25:51But the thing about true friends is, eventually they become your family.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Once someone has proved to you
0:25:52 > 0:25:55that they are someone you can share everything with
0:25:55 > 0:25:57and you totally trust,
0:25:57 > 0:26:00they too gain your unconditional love.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Thank you very much for listening.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Smile.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13I feel so happy.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14We done so well, I think.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16I'm like, I'm really proud of both of us.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18I'm proud of you, too.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20You're going to have a good experience to share
0:26:20 > 0:26:22with all your mates back home, huh?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24One of the hardest things for people is public speaking.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26For our young students, it's a challenge
0:26:26 > 0:26:28and I thought they did very well.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I was so proud, they handled themselves so well.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34They spoke from the heart, they took it very seriously
0:26:34 > 0:26:37and, I think, have turned a corner.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41I could not be more proud of my new Holy Rosary students.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45- Hug for everybody. Elizabeth.- Katie, Millie.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48At the beginning of the week, we was mucking around,
0:26:48 > 0:26:51we wasn't listening, we didn't take it seriously.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54When I get home, I think I'm going to behave
0:26:54 > 0:26:56and show my teachers some respect.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59And hopefully, they'll see that I've changed for the better.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Oh! They're so cute.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02I feel like a mother.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05This whole week has been one massive experience.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08It was really hard, but then we got through it.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11And I think I will change my behaviour when I get home.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Bye, AJ. EVERYONE: Bye!
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Macey and Trewley are heading home.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Will their behaviour improve once their back in the UK
0:27:18 > 0:27:22and have they done enough to graduate from their extreme school?
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Join us in our final show when the girls discover
0:27:25 > 0:27:27if they've turned it around in time.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Next time,
0:27:32 > 0:27:34all eight pupils are at a cinema in London...
0:27:34 > 0:27:36THEY LAUGH
0:27:36 > 0:27:39..to watch back some of their Extreme moments.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41And hear a few home truths.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44I didn't actually think that I was that bad.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Then we return to all four UK schools
0:27:46 > 0:27:49to discover if anyone made the grade.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Let's find out what your Extreme School report says.
