Eight kids who just couldn't stay out of trouble...

0:00:030:00:06

SHE SCREAMS

0:00:060:00:07

..agreed to enrol at four of the world's most extreme schools.

0:00:070:00:11

THEY YELL

0:00:110:00:13

It's so stressful.

0:00:130:00:17

For most of them, it was an eye-opening experience.

0:00:170:00:20

Don't move, keep standing.

0:00:200:00:22

And kiss. That's right.

0:00:220:00:23

But did any of them really learn to change their ways?

0:00:230:00:26

I actually can't be bothered doing it. I can't be bothered.

0:00:260:00:29

Do you know how much I hate this school?

0:00:290:00:32

Today on Extreme School, all eight pupils are meeting at a

0:00:360:00:39

cinema in London

0:00:390:00:42

to relive some of their most shocking moments

0:00:420:00:44

and hear a few home truths.

0:00:440:00:48

They are naughty.

0:00:480:00:49

Will they have done enough to graduate?

0:00:500:00:52

And has their behaviour improved since they returned to the UK?

0:00:520:00:56

Let's find out what your Extreme School report says.

0:00:560:01:00

Hello, everyone, and welcome to your Extreme School graduation day.

0:01:250:01:28

THEY CHEER

0:01:280:01:30

Today, we'll find out if you've made the grade,

0:01:300:01:32

plus we'll see your school highlights in all their glory

0:01:320:01:35

on the big screen.

0:01:350:01:36

ALL: Oooh...

0:01:360:01:38

Come on, let's go.

0:01:380:01:39

Eight Extreme School pupils with one thing in common -

0:01:480:01:52

the ability to cause mayhem in the classroom.

0:01:520:01:55

Let's take a look at some of their finest work.

0:01:550:01:58

It all began in Manchester with likely lads Adolphe and Christna.

0:02:060:02:10

Adolphe had a knack for getting into sticky situations.

0:02:100:02:15

I had to send him out of the classroom for gluing a girl

0:02:150:02:18

to a chair.

0:02:180:02:20

And Christna was known by all as the class clown.

0:02:200:02:24

Priority at school is just, like, messing about.

0:02:240:02:26

He loves to be the centre of attention.

0:02:260:02:29

Never takes anything seriously.

0:02:290:02:30

Then we were in Hertfordshire to meet troublesome twosome

0:02:330:02:37

Jodie and Chelsea.

0:02:370:02:38

Jodie's rebellious reputation certainly got her noticed.

0:02:400:02:43

She thinks she knows better than her teachers.

0:02:430:02:46

And Chelsea's attitude to school impressed no-one.

0:02:460:02:50

I don't care what people think, so I just go ahead and do what I like.

0:02:500:02:54

Next up was Reagan and Saqlain, the dynamic duo from Glasgow.

0:02:560:03:00

Reagan cared more about scoring goals than getting good grades.

0:03:030:03:07

My dream job when I'm older would be a football player.

0:03:070:03:10

That's more important to me than anything, to be honest.

0:03:100:03:13

And Saqlain's favourite hobby was breaking the rules.

0:03:130:03:17

I'm not the king of rule breaking but I think I'm the prince.

0:03:180:03:22

Finally came the excitable Essex girls - Trewley and Macey.

0:03:220:03:26

SHE LAUGHS

0:03:260:03:28

Trewley loved to flout school rules.

0:03:280:03:30

Unfortunately, she often is disruptive in the classroom.

0:03:300:03:34

And Macey got an A* for bad attitude.

0:03:340:03:37

I will argue with them because I think it's funny.

0:03:370:03:41

I'm normally in detention every day.

0:03:410:03:43

That's quite a long list of misdemeanours there,

0:03:450:03:47

but I'm interested.

0:03:470:03:48

Who do you think is the worst behaved?

0:03:480:03:50

I think the worst behaved was Christna.

0:03:500:03:52

I think it was Macey.

0:03:520:03:55

Yeah?

0:03:550:03:56

I think Adolphe because, like, he glued a girl to a chair.

0:03:560:04:00

THEY LAUGH

0:04:000:04:02

Jodie, you seemed a bit shocked about what the teacher

0:04:020:04:04

said about you.

0:04:040:04:05

I am quite shocked because I never thought they thought that about me.

0:04:050:04:08

Yeah, I wasn't really expecting them to,

0:04:080:04:10

like, point out that much stuff about me.

0:04:100:04:13

It makes me feel a bit bad to hear about my behaviour now.

0:04:130:04:16

I was a bit embarrassed to know how disruptive I can be in lessons

0:04:160:04:20

and how much I talk.

0:04:200:04:21

I thought it was a bit of a shock

0:04:210:04:23

cos I didn't actually think that I was that bad.

0:04:230:04:26

Extreme Schools are known for their unbending rules,

0:04:260:04:29

but there's one that you all tried to break with varying

0:04:290:04:32

degrees of success - the uniform.

0:04:320:04:35

HE SHOUTS ORDERS

0:04:390:04:41

At the Hong Kong Sea School, Adolphe and Christna got that sinking

0:04:420:04:47

feeling when they tried on their naval style uniforms.

0:04:470:04:51

This uniform looks weird, feels weird. Don't like it.

0:04:510:04:55

You look weird.

0:04:550:04:57

It looks so bad.

0:04:570:04:59

And I've got to wear this for five days. That's a joke.

0:04:590:05:04

And things went from bad to worse for Christna.

0:05:040:05:08

-Did they cut your hair?

-Yeah.

0:05:080:05:10

No way!

0:05:100:05:11

They've asked me to.

0:05:110:05:13

Jodie and Chelsea weren't wild about their safari style outfits at

0:05:160:05:20

the Okavango International School.

0:05:200:05:22

Look at this.

0:05:220:05:25

I'm not wearing that, no.

0:05:260:05:29

Green's a disgusting colour.

0:05:290:05:32

THEY LAUGH

0:05:320:05:35

In Singapore, the Scottish boys just couldn't take the uniform

0:05:350:05:39

seriously at their strict Islamic school.

0:05:390:05:42

THEY LAUGH

0:05:420:05:44

HE LAUGHS

0:05:440:05:45

-Look at me.

-I know.

0:05:450:05:48

No, I'm not wearing the hat. You can wear your hat.

0:05:480:05:51

I'm not wearing my hat.

0:05:510:05:52

But it was Trewley and Macey in Alaska whose Holy Rosary

0:05:540:05:57

uniform left them cold.

0:05:570:05:59

What is that? That's a curtain. I'm not a curtain.

0:05:590:06:04

I'll just roll it up, I don't care.

0:06:040:06:06

THEY LAUGH

0:06:060:06:10

Now you've seen everyone, who do you think had the worst deal?

0:06:110:06:14

-Us.

-Yeah, I think...

-You thought you had the worst?

0:06:140:06:17

It was the ugliest colour.

0:06:170:06:19

Seriously, they need to get some fashion sense.

0:06:190:06:22

The uniform I liked the most was their uniform.

0:06:220:06:26

I reckon it was all right compared to the others.

0:06:260:06:29

Chelsea and that had the worst uniform because,

0:06:290:06:32

like, even looking at it, it actually hurts my eyes.

0:06:320:06:36

And you had to go for a haircut.

0:06:360:06:38

I literally had skin at the back of my head.

0:06:380:06:40

My hair was just embarrassing.

0:06:400:06:42

I thought Chelsea and Jodie's uniform weren't even that bad.

0:06:420:06:45

I think me and Trewley had the worst uniform

0:06:450:06:47

cos it made you look like a frumpy old lady.

0:06:470:06:51

It made you look like a bogey.

0:06:510:06:52

I feel sorry for them. I actually feel so bad for them.

0:06:540:06:57

Who wears green trousers?

0:06:570:07:00

Who in their right mind wears green trousers?

0:07:000:07:02

You don't.

0:07:020:07:03

Sit up straight, stop talking, stand still, be quiet.

0:07:040:07:08

Sounds familiar, kids?

0:07:080:07:10

-ALL: Yeah.

-Yep.

0:07:100:07:12

It's time for my favourite category, the Extreme School teachers.

0:07:120:07:16

Oh, how I admire them.

0:07:160:07:19

Trewley and Macey were faced with the softly spoken principal,

0:07:230:07:26

Miss Neumayr.

0:07:260:07:27

We do not allow for students to wear make-up.

0:07:270:07:30

But there was nothing warm about her school punishments.

0:07:300:07:33

There's one part of the campus that has not been shovelled.

0:07:330:07:37

'The principal made us shovel the whole pathway.'

0:07:390:07:43

'Tomorrow morning you wake up and you say,

0:07:430:07:45

'"I'm just not going to fight it."'

0:07:450:07:47

Jodie and Chelsea had a close call with disciplinarian Mr Manenji,

0:07:470:07:52

who made it very clear what would happen if they stepped out of

0:07:520:07:56

line at Okavango.

0:07:560:07:58

You needed to tie your hair back.

0:07:580:08:00

Tie it back.

0:08:000:08:01

THEY LAUGH

0:08:010:08:04

And wash off your make-up or else you go for punishment -

0:08:040:08:10

cleaning the school grounds or picking litter around the school.

0:08:100:08:13

He is very scary.

0:08:130:08:14

I really don't want to do their punishments.

0:08:140:08:17

Their punishments look well harsh.

0:08:170:08:20

In Singapore, the boys had straight talking teacher Mr Mustaqim

0:08:220:08:27

who expected obedience at all times.

0:08:270:08:31

Raise your trousers. Why are you wearing white socks?

0:08:310:08:34

-You have to wear black socks. Do you have black socks?

-No.

0:08:340:08:38

-You have to buy.

-No money.

0:08:380:08:40

-If you keep talking back to me, I'll send you to the principal.

-OK.

0:08:400:08:45

But when it came to scary teachers, there was one school that

0:08:460:08:50

really stood out from the rest.

0:08:500:08:52

Stand up. Put on your shoes.

0:08:520:08:54

Stand here.

0:08:540:08:55

Your beret should be like this, OK?

0:08:560:08:59

Right, don't move, keep standing.

0:08:590:09:01

-Don't look around.

-Sorry.

0:09:030:09:05

Don't look around.

0:09:060:09:07

HE GIGGLES

0:09:070:09:09

THEY LAUGH

0:09:090:09:12

So why are you laughing?

0:09:120:09:14

What's funny?

0:09:180:09:19

They don't really ask you stuff here, they just demand,

0:09:190:09:22

like, "Stand still, don't move."

0:09:220:09:24

It's really intense.

0:09:240:09:26

Wow, they looked scary. But what were they like in person?

0:09:270:09:31

He was pretty hard because if you'd done something wrong,

0:09:310:09:33

he'd be like, "Do it properly."

0:09:330:09:35

We're supposed to run and walk a certain way,

0:09:350:09:38

like, everywhere we go, and it's just really hardcore.

0:09:380:09:42

When we met him, he was kind of like strutting towards us,

0:09:420:09:45

like proper staring.

0:09:450:09:46

He's quite a scary person.

0:09:460:09:48

You're looking up and you're like, "What have I done wrong?"

0:09:480:09:51

Trewley, what did you think of your teacher? Was she strict?

0:09:510:09:53

You know when your mum goes to shout at you in front of people,

0:09:530:09:56

but she don't want to shout really loud so she goes,

0:09:560:09:59

"If you don't do that..." So she's going, "Take your make-up off."

0:09:590:10:04

Has it changed your opinion of your teachers back here?

0:10:040:10:07

I don't backchat as much to my teachers,

0:10:070:10:10

like, I show my teachers more respect than what I used to.

0:10:100:10:15

Before I used to think they were all against me.

0:10:150:10:17

Now I know they're just there to help me.

0:10:170:10:18

Now, you're known at your school in the UK for your, let's say,

0:10:180:10:22

excitable behaviour, but what happened

0:10:220:10:25

when you got up to your old tricks at your Extreme School?

0:10:250:10:28

You'd think Christna and Adolphe would keep a low profile

0:10:330:10:36

at the super strict Sea School, but I guess old habits die hard.

0:10:360:10:41

MUSIC: Apache by The Sugarhill Gang

0:10:410:10:46

Teacher's watching us.

0:10:510:10:53

Why are you not taking our rules seriously?

0:10:530:10:57

Saqlain and Reagan's rule breaking earned them a shift on toilet

0:10:580:11:02

cleaning duties in Singapore.

0:11:020:11:03

Well, if we just wore black socks, we wouldn't actually be here,

0:11:030:11:06

so we should have just stuck to the uniform rule.

0:11:060:11:08

So what you have learnt?

0:11:110:11:13

Don't break rules.

0:11:130:11:15

Good. You may go to your class now.

0:11:150:11:17

Trewley and Macey started badly when they were asked to leave

0:11:180:11:22

their very first assembly.

0:11:220:11:24

OK, and we also have Trewley.

0:11:240:11:26

I told her to shut up.

0:11:300:11:31

OK.

0:11:310:11:32

-You need to go to my office for now so you can compose yourself?

-Yeah.

0:11:320:11:37

So our first assembly,

0:11:390:11:40

we got kicked out after - we weren't in there for a minute.

0:11:400:11:43

In Botswana, Jodie and Chelsea shocked their new classmates

0:11:440:11:48

when they were quizzed about their bad behaviour.

0:11:480:11:51

Do you guys ever get in trouble?

0:11:510:11:53

We do get into trouble quite a lot.

0:11:530:11:56

Why?

0:11:560:11:58

Getting into fights.

0:11:580:11:59

So you don't follow the rules?

0:12:050:12:07

No.

0:12:070:12:08

I think they're really, really naughty. Really naughty.

0:12:080:12:13

So when we were watching the clip there, you said it sounded

0:12:150:12:18

like an interrogation that you were getting from your classmates.

0:12:180:12:21

It did really feel like an interrogation, cos they're

0:12:210:12:23

all, like, looking at you and it was just really, like, uncomfortable.

0:12:230:12:27

Christna and Adolphe, wow, dancing with the flags.

0:12:270:12:30

People weren't very impressed, were they?

0:12:300:12:32

We never noticed it when they came over because we were just,

0:12:320:12:35

like, that much into the messing about, that when he came over,

0:12:350:12:37

he was just stood there and it just shocked us, so...

0:12:370:12:40

It was funny, though. It was funny.

0:12:400:12:42

Reagan and Saqlain, because you didn't wear the right

0:12:420:12:44

colour of socks, you ended up cleaning a toilet.

0:12:440:12:46

-How was that?

-That was his fault, cos he wore his trousers up

0:12:460:12:49

cos they were too long for him, he got caught wearing white socks.

0:12:490:12:52

It absolutely stunk!

0:12:520:12:54

You all saw school as your own private playground,

0:12:560:12:59

but did your view of education change after doing time

0:12:590:13:02

at one of the world's strictest?

0:13:020:13:04

In Singapore, sports mad Reagan got to train with an Olympic sprinter.

0:13:080:13:12

-Hi, Reagan.

-Hi.

0:13:120:13:14

-I'm Gary.

-Hi, Gary.

0:13:140:13:15

Who helped him understand the importance of hard work.

0:13:150:13:18

You want to be a professional athlete?

0:13:180:13:20

-Yeah.

-You need to look up to your teachers.

0:13:200:13:23

They are basically your coaches for your mind.

0:13:230:13:25

I think you'll go far.

0:13:250:13:27

Hi, you must be Saqlain.

0:13:280:13:30

-Yeah.

-My name's Leonard. I'm a pilot.

0:13:300:13:31

Saqlain's aspirations to become a pilot were given a boost when

0:13:310:13:35

he got the opportunity to attend flight school.

0:13:350:13:38

Keep turning to the left.

0:13:400:13:42

This is very cool, man.

0:13:420:13:43

Saqlain has a good chance to be a pilot and,

0:13:430:13:46

just as long as he works hard in school, he has done very well.

0:13:460:13:49

In Alaska, Trewley and Macey did a shift at the local homeless shelter.

0:13:510:13:55

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

0:13:550:13:56

And it definitely got them thinking.

0:13:560:13:59

Hello. It's times like this when you realise what you've got.

0:13:590:14:03

Makes me feel I need to start knuckling down on my work.

0:14:030:14:07

I just wish you the best.

0:14:070:14:09

You guys are lovely girls, both of you.

0:14:090:14:11

Thank you.

0:14:110:14:13

Adolphe had all but given up on his final challenge in Hong Kong,

0:14:150:14:19

but pulled it together after meeting semaphore flag instructor Mr Pun.

0:14:190:14:23

We can practise, OK? Yeah?

0:14:230:14:26

W.

0:14:260:14:28

E.

0:14:280:14:30

N.

0:14:300:14:31

I believe you...you can do that. Well done.

0:14:310:14:34

Thank you.

0:14:340:14:35

They all talk like they're giving you inspiration.

0:14:350:14:37

I want to go for it tomorrow, just to prove to Mr Pun

0:14:370:14:40

that I can do it, so I don't let him down after him

0:14:400:14:42

saying he believes in me and everything.

0:14:420:14:44

N.

0:14:440:14:46

Car obsessed Christna learnt the value of hard graft

0:14:470:14:50

when he did some work experience at McLaren.

0:14:500:14:53

You know what's your job today?

0:14:530:14:55

Oh, right. Is it cleaning?

0:14:550:14:56

Yes.

0:14:560:14:57

This is definitely a lot harder than I thought it'd be.

0:15:000:15:03

Since you're doing a very good job, there's a reward for you.

0:15:030:15:06

I will drive you around with my McLaren.

0:15:060:15:09

Wow!

0:15:120:15:14

Yeah.

0:15:160:15:17

That is me, pal.

0:15:170:15:19

My dream's to build an exact car like that.

0:15:190:15:22

I'm just going to put my head down at school and just really go for it.

0:15:240:15:27

Jodie and Chelsea visited people in the local community,

0:15:300:15:33

where they both had a revelatory experience.

0:15:330:15:36

So you do this way. And you weave.

0:15:360:15:40

Oh, that's clever. How did you start basket weaving?

0:15:400:15:44

I started helping people when I was 18,

0:15:440:15:47

but now it's more than 10,000 people I've been teaching doing baskets.

0:15:470:15:51

Now they are doing for their own things.

0:15:510:15:53

That's why I love that.

0:15:530:15:56

Hi, I'm Puni.

0:15:560:15:58

This is the house.

0:15:580:16:00

This is where we cook the stuff and they keep food inside.

0:16:000:16:05

Her house is falling apart.

0:16:060:16:08

Even we can sleep here, like, ten of us

0:16:100:16:12

or more than ten in the same room.

0:16:120:16:15

Oh. Are you happy here?

0:16:150:16:18

Yeah, we are.

0:16:180:16:19

With my family, I'm happy, right, because they're always there for me.

0:16:190:16:23

We are always there for each other.

0:16:230:16:25

Wow, there are some really incredible experiences there.

0:16:250:16:29

I was so shocked and, like, just the way they live, I thought

0:16:290:16:33

it was, like, unbelievable.

0:16:330:16:35

Now I've been there, I appreciate, like, more.

0:16:350:16:38

Like, I know what I've got and I'm grateful for what I've got.

0:16:380:16:40

One thing I will take away is that you can be so happy but have

0:16:400:16:44

so little.

0:16:440:16:45

I definitely realised that...how much

0:16:450:16:49

I need to really concentrate on my work and focus on my work

0:16:490:16:53

and commit myself to whatever I do in life.

0:16:530:16:55

I learnt that you shouldn't always think that the

0:16:550:16:58

teachers are against you and you should sometimes understand that

0:16:580:17:01

they have to do their job and it's part of their job to discipline you.

0:17:010:17:04

Five days of hard graft, strict discipline

0:17:040:17:07

and unbending rules wasn't all you had to face at Extreme School.

0:17:070:17:11

To succeed you had to pass a final challenge.

0:17:110:17:14

Look away now if you're of a nervous disposition.

0:17:140:17:17

HE YELLS ORDERS

0:17:200:17:22

The boys' final challenge in Hong Kong was to perform a complex

0:17:240:17:27

semaphore flag routine.

0:17:270:17:29

Their aim was to spell out a message for a special guest from the

0:17:290:17:32

British Consulate General.

0:17:320:17:34

One wrong letter meant failure.

0:17:340:17:37

HE GIVES ORDERS

0:17:370:17:39

HE YELLS OUT LETTERS

0:17:410:17:46

We did really well in that performance.

0:18:150:18:17

Today's been absolutely amazing.

0:18:170:18:20

Oh, so happy!

0:18:200:18:22

In Botswana, there were 300 in attendance to watch Jodie and

0:18:250:18:29

Chelsea perform with the young class they'd been teaching.

0:18:290:18:33

We begin our journey in 1953.

0:18:330:18:35

Queen Elizabeth II is crowned.

0:18:350:18:38

The show opened badly.

0:18:380:18:39

What are they doing? What are they doing?

0:18:410:18:43

(Say something, guys. Say something.)

0:18:450:18:48

HE SPEAKS IN TSWANA

0:18:490:18:53

-The drums.

-Drums!

0:18:540:18:56

But the girls' persistence soon won over the crowd.

0:18:580:19:01

In 2012, London hosted the Olympic Games. Go!

0:19:010:19:05

We would like to say thank you to everyone who has made us feel

0:19:080:19:11

so welcome.

0:19:110:19:13

-IN TSWANA:

-Ke a leboga.

-Ke a leboga.

0:19:130:19:15

I'm so happy it's over because, ah, it's all done, no stress,

0:19:200:19:23

no worries.

0:19:230:19:24

I want to go back on stage.

0:19:240:19:26

In Alaska, the Mayor was front row for Trewley and Macey's

0:19:260:19:30

classical debate.

0:19:300:19:31

The topic was the importance of friendship and the girls had

0:19:310:19:35

to argue for and against it.

0:19:350:19:37

Trewley is my best friend because we feel really comfortable

0:19:380:19:41

with each other and we share everything we have together.

0:19:410:19:44

She is 'Trewley' loyal.

0:19:440:19:46

As President Roosevelt once said,

0:19:470:19:49

"It is better to be faithful than famous."

0:19:490:19:51

We believe that family is the most important relationship in the world.

0:19:510:19:55

But the thing about true friends is eventually they become your family.

0:19:550:19:59

Thank you very much for listening.

0:19:590:20:01

We've done so well, I think.

0:20:030:20:05

Like, I'm really proud of both of us.

0:20:050:20:07

I'm proud of you too.

0:20:070:20:09

The boys in Singapore were in full traditional costume for their

0:20:110:20:15

final challenge.

0:20:150:20:17

TRADITIONAL MUSIC STARTS

0:20:170:20:20

Oh, man.

0:20:220:20:24

In front of several distinguished guests, they had to recite

0:20:280:20:31

a poem that reflected their time at the school.

0:20:310:20:34

When I stepped off the plane I loved the views

0:20:360:20:39

The palm trees, the heat And the high-rise buildings

0:20:390:20:41

I learnt to speak Malay In only just one day

0:20:410:20:44

I came to Singapore And I wanted to explore

0:20:440:20:48

I went to an Islamic school To learn to respect the rules

0:20:480:20:51

Terima kasih.

0:20:510:20:53

Yes, I'm happy with that. Yes!

0:20:560:20:58

All eight stepped up to their final challenge abroad.

0:21:000:21:04

But had any of them really got their act together?

0:21:050:21:08

I headed back to all four UK schools to reveal who had graduated

0:21:120:21:17

and to discover if anyone was up to their old tricks.

0:21:170:21:21

In front of a packed assembly, it was time to find out who had

0:21:220:21:25

nailed it and who had failed it.

0:21:250:21:28

Christna and Adolphe, I have in my hand your Extreme School report,

0:21:330:21:38

direct from Headmaster Lee at the Hong Kong Sea School.

0:21:380:21:43

Headmaster Tregilges at the Okavango International School.

0:21:430:21:47

Headmaster Isham in Singapore.

0:21:470:21:51

From Miss Neumayr at the Holy Rosary Academy in Alaska.

0:21:510:21:56

Let's find out what your Extreme School report says.

0:21:580:22:02

Adolphe got off to a very shaky start.

0:22:050:22:09

-Christna also made a very bad first impression.

-What?

0:22:090:22:15

AUDIENCE: Ooooh...

0:22:150:22:17

Both girls looked out of their depth

0:22:170:22:20

when they lost control of the young class they were in charge of.

0:22:200:22:25

Initially pushed the boundaries with their attitude in class.

0:22:260:22:33

Both girls showed a lack of respect for the teachers at the school.

0:22:330:22:40

But...

0:22:430:22:44

..by the end of the week,

0:22:450:22:47

both boys had turned their attitudes around.

0:22:470:22:51

They both showed leadership qualities.

0:22:510:22:54

The boys had shown real improvement in lessons.

0:22:540:22:58

And proved they could work hard

0:22:580:23:01

when they triumphed at the tough final challenge.

0:23:010:23:05

Congratulations, you've passed your Extreme School challenge!

0:23:110:23:14

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:23:140:23:17

Here you go, Jodie, there you go, Chelsea. Well done.

0:23:240:23:26

Well done.

0:23:260:23:27

A few close calls, but it was a full house of Extreme School graduates.

0:23:290:23:34

But the big question is - are they really reformed characters?

0:23:360:23:40

-140.

-140. How did you do that, Chelsea?

0:23:460:23:49

I knocked the zero off the 20 and added the zero onto the answer.

0:23:490:23:52

Excellent.

0:23:520:23:53

'Since I got back from Botswana,'

0:23:530:23:54

my behaviour has improved,

0:23:540:23:56

because, like, I try harder with all the teachers.

0:23:560:23:59

Like, I give them chances. They give me chances.

0:23:590:24:01

We've now seen signs that she's working hard

0:24:010:24:04

and trying to focus in the lessons.

0:24:040:24:06

Five, and then the one.

0:24:060:24:08

Since she's been back, Chelsea's beginning to realise that she

0:24:080:24:12

needs to mature and grow up a bit, which is a really good thing.

0:24:120:24:15

Well done, Chelsea.

0:24:150:24:17

-Do or...?

-Yeah.

0:24:190:24:21

'Before I went to Botswana, I wasn't'

0:24:210:24:24

the best behaved child.

0:24:240:24:27

-All right, well done.

-Thank you, Miss.

0:24:270:24:29

'Botswana had a massive effect on me.

0:24:290:24:32

'It will always be something that stays with me.'

0:24:320:24:35

I'm planning to go back and to do some voluntary work there.

0:24:350:24:39

It's made her realise her goals and her ambitions

0:24:390:24:43

and what she needs to do to reach those goals.

0:24:430:24:47

The speaker of the poem is a farmer who is ploughing a field.

0:24:470:24:50

While he is ploughing, he comes across a little mouse.

0:24:500:24:53

Before I went to Singapore, I was really disrespectful

0:24:530:24:56

and unfocused, but now I am not talking, being more focused

0:24:560:25:01

and I'm not disrespectful to my teachers.

0:25:010:25:04

I've noticed that Reagan has improved in terms of his maturity

0:25:040:25:08

and his work ethic, and I think that this has given him more focus

0:25:080:25:12

to help him achieve whatever it is that he sets out to achieve in life.

0:25:120:25:17

Miss, I need help, please.

0:25:170:25:19

From my Extreme School experience, I learned that you need to work

0:25:200:25:23

hard and have good indication and behave to get a good job.

0:25:230:25:27

The experience has helped Saqlain

0:25:270:25:29

focus more upon what he might want to do as a career.

0:25:290:25:33

I would say that I see more responsibility in him.

0:25:330:25:36

He seems to know more where the boundaries are.

0:25:360:25:39

-OK, boys, that's excellent. Well done.

-Thanks.

0:25:390:25:41

Going to Alaska made me realise I need to take full advantage

0:25:430:25:46

of school, like, I need to make the most of it while I can

0:25:460:25:49

because we only get it once.

0:25:490:25:51

My target is my punctuation.

0:25:510:25:54

She actually seems to be a lot calmer, less confrontational

0:25:540:25:58

and therefore has come back really quite a reformed person.

0:25:580:26:01

I think Macey's future is very, very bright.

0:26:010:26:04

She just needs to really grab it with both hands now.

0:26:040:26:08

Since I've got back from Alaska, I've tried to avoid

0:26:080:26:10

confrontation with the teachers.

0:26:100:26:12

I still have got my personality, but I just tone things down now.

0:26:120:26:15

I guess I've become less aggressive than I used to be.

0:26:150:26:20

She has actually become much more calm

0:26:200:26:23

and I would say probably a little bit more thoughtful

0:26:230:26:25

about the way that she behaves around the school.

0:26:250:26:27

She's still got a way to go to be angelic but she's getting there.

0:26:270:26:31

So who do we think's responsible for the sinking of the Titanic and why?

0:26:310:26:35

Christna.

0:26:350:26:36

Since I've got back, I honestly know I've changed a lot

0:26:360:26:38

because I've really put my head down in class and my grades are suddenly

0:26:380:26:42

raising the roof, and the class clown has definitely disappeared.

0:26:420:26:47

He does not shout out as much.

0:26:470:26:49

He does not try to be the centre of attention as much.

0:26:490:26:52

And I think he's starting to show a bit more maturity.

0:26:520:26:55

Christna's realised that he needs to leave the class clown

0:26:550:26:58

in the playground.

0:26:580:26:59

He needs to get his head down and work in class,

0:26:590:27:01

and that's exactly what he's doing now.

0:27:010:27:03

Sir, please can I have some help?

0:27:030:27:05

'When you visit a school like that, it makes you really think about'

0:27:050:27:09

what you have and how you should... Like, don't take advantage of it.

0:27:090:27:14

I've learnt from Hong Kong that you shouldn't really act bad in school

0:27:140:27:18

because in the end, you have to have a good GCSE and you have to know

0:27:180:27:22

what you want, and messing about isn't really going to get you there.

0:27:220:27:25

-Thank you, sir.

-Yeah.

0:27:250:27:27

Since he's come back from Hong Kong,

0:27:270:27:28

we have seen a turnaround in Adolphe.

0:27:280:27:30

He's certainly not as argumentative as he used to be,

0:27:300:27:34

and that's a real positive.

0:27:340:27:36

He's very calm.

0:27:360:27:37

He doesn't run around as much as he did

0:27:370:27:39

and there's been no glue incidents.

0:27:390:27:41

It's success for our newest class of Extreme School graduates.

0:27:450:27:49

Keep up the good work. Cheese.

0:27:490:27:52

ALL: Cheese!
