0:00:18 > 0:00:21SCHOOL BELL RINGS
0:00:31 > 0:00:35High School follows a year in the life of Holyrood Secondary School.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37This is crazy!
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Can I get a group hug here?
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Unbelievable.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Yes!
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Showing the ups...
0:00:44 > 0:00:46I've never seen happier children ever in my life.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48..and downs...
0:00:48 > 0:00:50My instincts just say punch him right in the mouth.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51..the triumphs...
0:00:51 > 0:00:53- Congratulations! - Woo! Thank you very much.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55..and the tears...
0:00:55 > 0:00:56I feel such a gimp for crying.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59..as they battle to keep standards high.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- Do you think that's the way to treat another person?- No.- No.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04To keep the show on the road...
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Now, now, come on, move, we're ready to start!
0:01:07 > 0:01:12..and make it a successful year in one of Europe's biggest schools.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14SHE SQUEALS
0:01:19 > 0:01:21It's the start of the spring term at Holyrood
0:01:21 > 0:01:26and the New Year has been one of the coldest and snowiest on record.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35It's a lot worse than we thought today.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40The forecasters said snow easing off but it's been snowing heavily all morning, so, a lot of new snow cover.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Makes better snowballs today, unfortunately.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Yesterday was a bit icy but today makes a good snowball.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49So, we'll be on alert, we'll be on alert.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Come on, boys. Just leave the snow on the ground, it's quite happy there,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54don't disturb it, OK?
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Headmaster Tom tries to meet the kids every morning as they arrive,
0:02:00 > 0:02:04and although he has one eye on potential snowball flare-ups,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07his mind is really on one of his students, Max,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10who is down in Oxford trying to get a place at uni.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14We came back to really good news, in fact, he's being given an interview for University of Oxford.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Max is one of our very, very high achievers
0:02:17 > 0:02:19and so Max's potential is to go to the very top level,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22high-tariff university course and to go to Oxford
0:02:22 > 0:02:25would be a terrific achievement for him and for the school too.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Head Boy, Max, already has five As at Higher but that won't be enough
0:02:32 > 0:02:36to get an automatic place at Oxford and he's being interviewed
0:02:36 > 0:02:39by two colleges to see if they will accept him next year.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48He's hoping to be one of the few students from Holyrood to ever go to Oxford
0:02:48 > 0:02:52and he's been blown away by what he's seen so far.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54It's the number one uni in the UK.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59There's nothing can really rival it, it's...it's just brilliant.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03It's a great place, great people, great tutors.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06You know you're being taught by the absolute best.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10And it would just be fantastic to come here, fantastic.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21Back at Holyrood, 1st Year Zoe has been off school since the start of the year
0:03:21 > 0:03:24and has spent much of that time in Yorkhill Hospital for kids.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- How good's your French?- Not bad.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- What can you say?- Em, it's OK. I only know hello and goodbye.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Say that.- Bonjour and, no, how do you say hi?
0:03:38 > 0:03:42- Bonjour.- And, is it, au revoir? - Au revoir, that's it, brilliant.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44That'll be good enough for Mr McCormack, I think.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I'll come and get you at the start of period four, OK,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- and then we'll go along to Mr McCormack.- OK.- Fantastic.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- You're looking gorgeous as well. - Thank you.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56She's missed an awful lot of time since the beginning of term.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59We've had sporadic attempts to get her into school
0:03:59 > 0:04:01and then she's been off for long periods of time.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Today, she's in with quite a lot of cream on and things like that
0:04:05 > 0:04:09but if that helps her and we can support her in whatever way we can, that's good.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12We want her back in here full time, that's what we're aiming for,
0:04:12 > 0:04:14but we're just taking it slowly. A day at a time, you know.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19Zoe has serious allergies and a difficult skin condition,
0:04:19 > 0:04:23which means she's spent most of her time in school isolated in the learning unit.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30I'm allergic to nuts, eggs, peas, beans, lentils,
0:04:30 > 0:04:35grass, pollen, animals, any animal.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Em, that's about it, really.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Quite a lot of allergies.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I'm not allowed to go into home economics
0:04:42 > 0:04:44cos I'm allergic to, like, a lot of food
0:04:44 > 0:04:48and I can't go into science cos we don't really know what they use,
0:04:48 > 0:04:54so I might not be allowed it and I'm not allowed in technical because...
0:04:54 > 0:04:59No, wait, is it not the one they use the wood or something?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I'm not allowed in that one either cos of dust
0:05:01 > 0:05:07and don't know about gym right now cos... You know how people spray their deodorant and stuff?
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Quite a lot of girls, so, em, that's really it, really.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15I'm not allowed in a lot of classes, not all the fun ones, anyway.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20With Head of First Year, Bernadette, by her side,
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Zoe is about to properly join her classmates for the first time
0:05:24 > 0:05:26in Holyrood and try to last a full lesson.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Have you been down this corridor before? No.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31If her condition flares up,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34she'll be straight back to Yorkhill Hospital.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- OK?- Thanks, Mr McCormack. Enjoy, enjoy.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42In the drama department, 5th Year Santino
0:05:42 > 0:05:46is practising for his higher drama exam with fellow actor, Sarah.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51It's a kiss scene and Santino has been struggling to hold it together,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54especially in front of his friends.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Santino and Sarah have a lovely kiss scene.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00It's quite touching and passionate.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06Why would it no' be right? Mind when we had our own wee place?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Mind when we used to lie and used to rake down the coals?
0:06:11 > 0:06:12HE CRIES
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Aw.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23EVERYONE LAUGHS
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Well done, guys, well done, well done.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30It went OK, except for Santino's concentration.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35No, after the kiss I could just, I just saw Brian go like that.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39When I turned to the side and I couldn't concentrate.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42With more work needed on the kiss scene,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46he'll have to break the news to his girlfriend, 4th Year, Victoria.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49She's not seen it yet, so maybe that's the best way.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51No, I want to see it.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- No, you don't.- I do. - It's an intense kiss.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- No, I want to see it. - No, you don't.- I do.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57It might mean something. I mean...
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- ..she is a really nice girl. - Oh, shut up.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Really get on well with her.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Santino and Victoria have been dating since he joined Holyrood
0:07:06 > 0:07:07at the start of the year.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I was the new boy and I didn't really know where I was going
0:07:10 > 0:07:12and she just kind of swooped in out of nowhere
0:07:12 > 0:07:14and just kind of picked me up.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18I didn't even know what's going on, I was just going along with it.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- She's my best pal. - Awww.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I don't know cos I'm quite a...
0:07:26 > 0:07:31It's like my other half, like, I'm kind of all mature and serious
0:07:31 > 0:07:34and Victoria's all immature fun.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Despite the kiss scene, Santino and Victoria are smitten,
0:07:38 > 0:07:40for now.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47In Holyrood, Head of First Year, Bernadette,
0:07:47 > 0:07:49already has a discipline situation to deal with.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53The boy, Daniel, fuelled the fight yesterday by grabbing the girl's bag
0:07:53 > 0:07:56and proceeding to empty the contents on the ground.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Laughing at her and shouting.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01He also refused to leave the scene when I told him to go away.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- I laughed at her but I didn't do it. - Mrs Porter's saying you did.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06But even if you hadn't and you stood there and watched it
0:08:06 > 0:08:10and laughed at her, that's absolutely shocking.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- Do you think that's the way to treat another person?- No.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15No, and all the hundreds of folk that gathered there yesterday
0:08:15 > 0:08:20to film it and to laugh and to watch it, it's absolutely disgraceful.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Now, I'm going to phone your mum because I need to have a word with her about it,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28as I think your involvement in this was shocking
0:08:28 > 0:08:31and tonight I'm going to make you stay after school to do a detention.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I'm not having this, Daniel. Now, go to class, please.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37At the end of the day I will see you outside the learning unit, do you understand?
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Yes, Miss.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42There was a fight after school yesterday.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44One girl was waiting for another girl and a crowd had gathered,
0:08:44 > 0:08:48obviously expecting a fight and the fight took place.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Daniel was there. He didn't help the situation.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I'm going to phone Daniel's mum now to tell her about his part in it
0:08:54 > 0:08:57and that he will be remaining behind after school tonight as well.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Just can't accept that. It's just unacceptable behaviour.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Zoe's back in the learning unit,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07but she's made it through her first lesson.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12It was scary at first cos I've never seen a classroom.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I've looked in but people are looking at me
0:09:14 > 0:09:17but you get scared cos you've never been in it before.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20It's like when you're young, you're going into school for the first time,
0:09:20 > 0:09:21it's like that.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23But when I went in, everybody was nice to me
0:09:23 > 0:09:25and they were all happy to see me
0:09:25 > 0:09:29and some of my friends were in that class, they were all shouting
0:09:29 > 0:09:31and I kept trying to keep myself still
0:09:31 > 0:09:35cos know how when you're nervous your legs shake? I was trying to do that
0:09:35 > 0:09:38and then after, like, five minutes I felt better,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41so it was quite a good first experience, actually.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Zoe's made it through French
0:09:46 > 0:09:50but her mum is worried that she doesn't do too much, too soon.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Had a good day?- Yeah.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53'It's been a work in progress.'
0:09:53 > 0:09:58And I just... It needs to sort of keep going as a work in progress
0:09:58 > 0:10:02and I try to tell Zoe you can't run before you can walk.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03She doesn't understand that.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I think she's starting to get the gist of it now.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08So, it's been a major upheaval this week.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Good and bad because I've had to give her the responsibility.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15She's done well so far, so I just hope she keeps it going
0:10:15 > 0:10:18and it means that she can stay in school.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Fingers crossed with that one.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Zoe wants to get back into school full time.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27But her condition might not allow her that chance.
0:10:29 > 0:10:331st Year Daniel is bucking the system at Holyrood
0:10:33 > 0:10:37and Bernadette's warning, at the moment, seems to be water off a duck's back.
0:10:37 > 0:10:43These two lassies were fighting and then her bag fell down
0:10:43 > 0:10:47and I poured everything out and all of her stuff came out
0:10:47 > 0:10:49and I've got in trouble for that.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52How do you feel when you get in trouble?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Fine!
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Daniel and his friend are skipping school,
0:10:58 > 0:10:59called dogging it.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02He gets in trouble for doing stupid stuff.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I don't have bad behaviour but I dog it.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Where do you go?
0:11:08 > 0:11:13- EK and Silverburn and that, and town.- EK.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16You don't learn anything in school and it's boring
0:11:16 > 0:11:19and you get in trouble anyway, so what's the point of coming in?
0:11:19 > 0:11:24Daniel may be bucking the system, but Bernadette is determined
0:11:24 > 0:11:27to change his behaviour this term, before things escalate.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48It's morning, and the day after Zoe has tried to join her classmates,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Bernadette has some bad news.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Zoe's not in today because her allergies have flared up
0:11:55 > 0:11:58and I think her skin's quite inflamed, so Mum decided to keep her off today.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02We were hoping she could come in today and maybe stay a tiny wee bit longer here
0:12:02 > 0:12:04but she'll come in tomorrow and hopefully she'll do a whole day.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Cos my skin was quite sore on my face,
0:12:10 > 0:12:12I didn't go in cos it was getting quite sore.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13It gets hot and I scratch a lot.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16So it might have been last night, I don't know.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Cos it wasn't like that when I went to bed.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23So, hopefully I can go in tomorrow for the whole day.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28Battling her skin allergies is a full-time job for Zoe
0:12:28 > 0:12:29and her mum, Lisa.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32These are my moisturisers that I have to put on every day.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36That's what I put in my bath and then that's like my steroids
0:12:36 > 0:12:37if my skin's quite sore.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42I would say, because Zoe with having so many allergies,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45and if you're in a school with loads of kids
0:12:45 > 0:12:49and the fact is that at the lunch hall, there's so many kids
0:12:49 > 0:12:51and they can eat what they like,
0:12:51 > 0:12:55if Zoe had to go into that environment, she could take a reaction.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57So she is not allowed near the lunch hall.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00She wants to be like everybody else and just fit in and the fact is
0:13:00 > 0:13:04I've told her that she has to remember there are certain things she just can't do.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07And I feel rotten that she can't wear make-up.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09A lot of her pals are going out and wearing make-up
0:13:09 > 0:13:12but I said to her, "You don't need it anyway."
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Zoe has struggled with her skin condition since she was a baby.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18That's Zoe when she was about three months old
0:13:18 > 0:13:21with her bandages on.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23That was on Christmas Eve when she was one
0:13:23 > 0:13:26and she wanted to wear a pair of antlers.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28And I didn't really like taking photos with her bandages on
0:13:28 > 0:13:31because I'm thinking of looking at them when they're older,
0:13:31 > 0:13:35you know, they're going to look back and see bandages.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39It's a real blow for Zoe that she's off classes again
0:13:39 > 0:13:45but now more than ever, she has set her heart on trying to do a full day at school.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Every year, a few hand-picked students raise money to go to Malawi
0:13:53 > 0:13:56to build schools and work with local kids.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Although the man behind setting up the project,
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Vice Head Tony Begley, has now left,
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Tom is keen to make sure that Holyrood build on past successes
0:14:06 > 0:14:09and today is the first round of selection
0:14:09 > 0:14:12where the potential sixth-form candidates are interviewed.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14I'm just preparing for my Malawi interview.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Quite nervous but I suppose you just need to go in and be yourself.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20So I'm just kind of thinking of things I'm going to say
0:14:20 > 0:14:23but there's no point in learning screeds of stuff you're going to say
0:14:23 > 0:14:24cos it won't be natural.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29Everyone's all, kind of, worked up trying to calm themselves down.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Sadia, Lorna, Michelle...
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Gillian Mimnagh was appointed Deputy Head last term.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40She went to Malawi last year and is on the selection panel.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43I think what you find when you all go out to Malawi,
0:14:43 > 0:14:48staff and pupils, is that it's a total leveller.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50So, really, you're looking for somebody who can cope with that,
0:14:50 > 0:14:54who can really be a member of a team but with bags of energy,
0:14:54 > 0:14:56cos you certainly need it.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00There is a huge fight amongst the sixth formers to get a place on the Malawi trip
0:15:00 > 0:15:04and doing a good interview is key to being selected.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06You really don't. You try not to but you do.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08I'm actually really excited.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- I'm not even nervous, I'm actually quite excited.- Why?
0:15:11 > 0:15:15I don't know. I just have a feeling that I might get in
0:15:15 > 0:15:17and that I'm going to go to Malawi very soon.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I'm really excited.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Last term, Sadia put herself forward as head girl.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25The reason I'm dressed like this is because it's Eid.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30But felt that her speech in front of her year let her chances down badly.
0:15:30 > 0:15:36I just didn't say enough... Ah! Could actually punch myself for it.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41Sadia and her two best friends, Maxine and Fariha, have all applied for Malawi
0:15:41 > 0:15:44and are hoping they will all go out to Africa together.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48So, we're going to give you three areas to discuss with us today.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51It'll be no more than ten minutes, so, don't worry about it.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55We'll want to find out what you'll bring as an individual to the team.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Miss Mimnagh will want to be convinced that you can balance the demands of your school work,
0:15:58 > 0:16:02and finally, John'll want to be convinced that you really want to do this
0:16:02 > 0:16:05and why do you want to do it. OK, does that seem to make sense?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Well, firstly I think I'm a very optimistic person.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12For example, I've been working with Indy for almost four years now.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Daniel Mutombo? So they're truanting just now?
0:16:16 > 0:16:201st Year Daniel's head has risen above the parapet yet again.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23He's just run away from his next class with some other boys.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Little boys who've been truanting recently are missing from maths,
0:16:26 > 0:16:28missing from their class this period.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30One of the other maths teachers has just caught him,
0:16:30 > 0:16:34or tried to catch him, but in actual fact he's run away.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36He's probably in the social area just now.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38I have to go and find him.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Bernadette is losing patience with Daniel,
0:16:42 > 0:16:44and so far, nothing seems to be working with him.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I'm going to have to bring Daniel's mum in because in spite of the fact
0:16:49 > 0:16:52that he's been to attendance counsel, he's been put on a warning,
0:16:52 > 0:16:55he continues to defy us and to truant from school.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00So, things really have to move up a gear, I think,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02because he's not cooperating at all.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06You give him an attendance card to make sure that he's going to his classes and he's doing this, so...
0:17:06 > 0:17:10It looks as if Bernadette might have found Daniel.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Where are you supposed to be?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Stop, stop, stop. Where are you supposed to be?
0:17:14 > 0:17:15We've no teacher at all in the class.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Where's your class? - Craft and design.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- So why are you up here? - Looking for a teacher.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Who's your teacher?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Right, go back down to Mr Skelton and ask him where your teacher should be.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27OK?
0:17:27 > 0:17:31With Daniel still at large, Bernadette decides to see
0:17:31 > 0:17:34if his friend Kieron can throw any light on his whereabouts.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Good morning, Mr McCormack, could I have a wee word with Kieron, please?
0:17:38 > 0:17:39So, who were you with?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Eh, James. - James and Daniel?- Aye.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Good. And where did they all scarper to?
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- I don't know. - And how come, you got caught?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51No, I was, I was coming, I walked down that way, I thought,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I thought Mr McCormack's class was over there.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- Right, so you were going to class and the other boys ran away?- Aye.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00You did the right thing because they're going to be in big trouble when I find them.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02OK. Right, thank you, Kieron.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03In you go.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Bye, Mr McCormack. Thank you.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Right, I'll go down these stairs here.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Bernadette needs to find Daniel and convince him to change his ways
0:18:16 > 0:18:21before his behaviour creates serious problems for himself and his family.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26So, I think it's something to give me... It'll make me realise
0:18:26 > 0:18:30just how important life really is and how importantly I should take it
0:18:30 > 0:18:33and how to appreciate everything that I do have.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Thank you. We'll spend some time seeing many more of your friends,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40until later on today, and we'll let you know later this week.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- Good luck and thank you.- Thank you.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I just felt like I was, for once, able to pour my heart out,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50they actually were listening to what I had to say.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53A lot of teachers like interrupting in interviews but they didn't.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56They let me free and let me talk about everything I wanted to say.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00So, yes, I'm happy. I'm really excited now.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01I'm so nervous.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08Well, as an individual I would say I'm quite bubbly, loving, caring
0:19:08 > 0:19:12and, like, I don't know what it is but when kids come across
0:19:12 > 0:19:16I'm just really loving and kids, sort of, tend to love me too.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Fariha is the last of the three friends into the interview.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I really wanted to go ever since I came to this school.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25The first time I heard about it, I've always wanted to go.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27I'm really hoping I don't get dropped.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Maxine, thank you for coming along today, very convincing indeed.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32OK, thanks, Maxine.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37She had a, I suppose, a unique insight in that she is Zimbabwean,
0:19:37 > 0:19:41you know, an African herself, and she was able uniquely to share the fact
0:19:41 > 0:19:44that she wants to go back to Africa, and having seen the deprivation
0:19:44 > 0:19:47in her own country, make a difference in a similar country.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I think it might mean more to me than anybody else
0:19:50 > 0:19:53because I've seen it all happen before and I know how people feel.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58So, it's like a, sort of, personal achievement, I'd call it.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Maxine feels she has done well
0:20:02 > 0:20:06and now it's the last of the three friends, Fariha, who has to impress.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10If no-one else was willing to, I'd step up and be a leader
0:20:10 > 0:20:12and I can also... I wouldn't mind being told what to do.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- I wouldn't mind being a team worker as well.- Right, OK.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19And, er... I just feel like, er...
0:20:21 > 0:20:23OK, thanks for that.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Bernadette has finally tracked Daniel down.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28When did you get to your last class?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- I arrived on time.- You couldn't possibly have. Miss O'Reilly says
0:20:31 > 0:20:33you didn't arrive on time. She said you ran away.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I have been all over the school, looking for you.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Remember the other morning when I asked you about your late coming?
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- You told me that you had slept in. - I only slept in on first period.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46No, that wasn't true. That wasn't true.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49You didn't sleep in. You truanted from class.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52You were hiding in the art corridor, correct?
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- No, I wasn't... - No, I'm sorry, you were.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I cannot have you truanting from school, Daniel.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Your mum can't have you truanting from school,
0:21:00 > 0:21:02because she could be in big trouble.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06I'm not happy about that at all. Not happy at all.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Do you understand me? Any more of that today, I'll send you home
0:21:09 > 0:21:11and you'll come back in with your mum so we can have a chat.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Do you understand? I want to see that card lunchtime and at the end
0:21:14 > 0:21:17of the school day today, Daniel. Come to me at the end of the day
0:21:17 > 0:21:22before you go home. I'll decide whether or not your mum has to come in tomorrow morning. Understand?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- I'm not happy at all. - But, Miss...
0:21:24 > 0:21:26I don't think you're being truthful.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Make sure you're in your classes immediately. Do you understand?
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- Yes.- Thank you. Go back to class now.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36I've asked him to come back and see me at lunchtime
0:21:36 > 0:21:40and after school. I'm going to check his card very, very carefully.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Daniel unfortunately tells lies about where he's been
0:21:42 > 0:21:46and what he's doing, so we really have to monitor him very closely.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Max is back from the Oxford interviews
0:22:01 > 0:22:03and Tom is keen to see how well he thinks he's done.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06So you went from a comprehensive school,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Glasgow inner-city school.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09I saw a guy with a three-piece suit.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12You know, he had the shirt, tie and waistcoat
0:22:12 > 0:22:15and I was going to my interviews in my jeans
0:22:15 > 0:22:17and my T-shirt and trainers
0:22:17 > 0:22:21because I thought there was no point in turning up...
0:22:21 > 0:22:24I'm going as a student, so I'll dress as a student
0:22:24 > 0:22:26and not in my school uniform or something.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Did you feel more or less confident than before you went down?
0:22:30 > 0:22:34It's a hard one, because you do meet so many people there who...
0:22:34 > 0:22:35and I should expect it,
0:22:35 > 0:22:39who are so intelligent and so good, obviously.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Well, good luck, Max. We'll hear how things go.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Yeah, no bother. See you then.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45'I'm impressed about the fact'
0:22:45 > 0:22:49he went down there feeling confident, in no way inferior.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51You know, coming from a...
0:22:51 > 0:22:55I suppose a Scottish, Glasgow comprehensive school.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59He has the intellect to know that there are those there who are from,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02you know, a background of privilege and so on.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04You know, the Etons and the public schools,
0:23:04 > 0:23:08but I think Max Graham would make a fantastic student for them.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Max now has to wait to see if he has received an offer from Oxford
0:23:12 > 0:23:14and back at home, a letter has arrived
0:23:14 > 0:23:17from his first choice college.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21We have to pass vital exams in an uncertain future...
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Santino isn't just into drama... and Victoria.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27He's also just got through to the final of a Glasgow schools
0:23:27 > 0:23:30public-speaking competition.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32With the big day looming, he's practising his speech
0:23:32 > 0:23:34over lunch with Bob Oliver,
0:23:34 > 0:23:38the English teacher who's been encouraging him.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39..and policing your streets.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43There we go, perfect. We'll do a timer next.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I'm feeling pretty nervous, actually,
0:23:46 > 0:23:48more than anything else.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51I suppose if you're not nervous, there's something wrong with you.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Ready?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Five, four, three, two, one...go.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Santino is the only student who's got through from Holyrood
0:24:02 > 0:24:06and most of his competitors are from Glasgow's top fee-paying schools.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10As Mark Twain once joked,
0:24:10 > 0:24:15AMERICAN ACCENT: "When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant,
0:24:15 > 0:24:17"I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19"But when I got to be 21,
0:24:19 > 0:24:23"I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years."
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Thank you.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- Was that short?- Hm?- Is it not supposed to be five minutes?
0:24:28 > 0:24:32You got four minutes 29. Play around with that over the weekend.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I don't know why I put on that American accent there at the end.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37No, it works, it works.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38See you later.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40'Yeah, it was good.'
0:24:40 > 0:24:43I was quite happy with that, actually. Thinking about it,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46I'm feeling more confident than I did going into the first heats,
0:24:46 > 0:24:50so it should be exciting. I'm quite happy with that.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54He's impressive. So on the night, we'll just have to see.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56As long as he doesn't get too worked up about it.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01Santino needs to memorise his speech before he takes on the best
0:25:01 > 0:25:04that Glasgow's other schools can throw at him.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Take those nails off the end there.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Just put them on the floor.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Tonight is the school fashion show
0:25:12 > 0:25:15and the hopeful Malawi candidates are all helping and taking part.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18It is a big deal, but I think for 6th year it's a bigger deal
0:25:18 > 0:25:21because a lot of people don't get the chance till 6th year
0:25:21 > 0:25:25and all the pictures are going to be in the Year Book and everything.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28It is a big deal, I suppose. It's like everybody gets so hyped up
0:25:28 > 0:25:30and excited about it. I'm excited!
0:25:30 > 0:25:34The fashion show is a big fund-raising day at Holyrood.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Head of 5th Year, Margaret Leyden, is the organiser
0:25:38 > 0:25:42and she is hoping to raise over £1,000.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44It's the first time they'll have been on the catwalk
0:25:44 > 0:25:46and that's daunting cos it's quite high
0:25:46 > 0:25:48and they don't really realise it's that high.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50INTERVIEWER: How stressed are you feeling?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Probably Spider-Woman comes in, I'm halfway up a wall
0:25:53 > 0:25:56but it's all right, it'll be all right on the night.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Fingers crossed!
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Sometimes it's a hard job in schools
0:26:01 > 0:26:04when you hear about children who maybe have difficulties
0:26:04 > 0:26:06and you're trying to help them
0:26:06 > 0:26:09and you feel as if you're battering your head off a brick wall.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12But things like this just bring it all to life
0:26:12 > 0:26:15and the kids are fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Everyone's been roped into tonight's show,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21including three Beyonce lookalikes.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Gillian Beyonce,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Terry Beyonce and Bernadette Beyonce.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30We are doing a little dance to Single Ladies by Beyonce.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34And we've been Beyonce-fied, obviously!
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Terry McIntosh always steals the show,
0:26:36 > 0:26:39which we're totally happy with. So she's front and centre,
0:26:39 > 0:26:41we'll just stand at the back.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43O'Shea's very good. Very good.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46But Mimnagh, Mimnagh's struggling. Struggling.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49It's a nightmare. So embarrassed, quite frankly.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52As long as I don't fall, I'm fine.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Gillian has even invited her cousin, Miss UK, to make an appearance.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00This is Nicola. She's my wee cousin and she's also Miss UK.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Cos we do the fashion show every year,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06I thought I would ask her to come along and she agreed
0:27:06 > 0:27:08out of her busy schedule, so it's really good.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11This is crazy!
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Well, this is the crucial point.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Everything starts at one point.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18We've got so many people to get dressed.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Hey, this is all part of it.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31A letter has arrived from Oxford University for Max.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34He's applied to two colleges there
0:27:34 > 0:27:37and has set his heart on going next year.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41It's like getting my exam results all over again.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Mum and Dad are just coming back from work.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49I phoned them when I found it was here.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53My mum always says, "What's for you won't go by you."
0:27:53 > 0:27:58So, you know, I just say that I would agree with that.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Oh, God! I think I've tried to get all my reactions.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12I'll cry if you don't get in, I'll cry if you do.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13Let's get it over and done with.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25No.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Oh.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Never mind, OK.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Oh, I'm still under consideration by another college.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Max has failed to get a place at Magdalen College
0:28:40 > 0:28:43but still has another chance with Pembroke College.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Magdalen was where I'd wanted to go.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48But if I get another one from another college,
0:28:48 > 0:28:51then it doesn't really matter. Oxford's Oxford.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55We'll just have to wait and see now.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59I'm really disappointed for him. Really disappointed.
0:28:59 > 0:29:04Now! Now! Now! Come on, move! We're ready to start!
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Miss can be so moany, but she means well.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16The fashion show has just started
0:29:16 > 0:29:20and Margaret is just about keeping all the balls in the air
0:29:20 > 0:29:22and all the girls on the stage.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Most of the Malawi hopefuls are taking part,
0:29:25 > 0:29:29as well as a Beyonce tribute act.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32MUSIC: "Single Ladies" by Beyonce
0:29:43 > 0:29:47I'm so scared now!
0:29:47 > 0:29:49I think I'm actually more nervous doing this
0:29:49 > 0:29:50than doing actual fashion shows.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58CHEERING
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Put your hands together for the Single Ladies!
0:30:04 > 0:30:07It was good. Good fun.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11Never again! For one year only, for one year only.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14The fashion show has raised more money than ever before.
0:30:14 > 0:30:19With the added bonus of Miss UK, the night is only topped
0:30:19 > 0:30:22by a purple-suited Tom leading the final song.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26MUSIC: "Is This The Way To Amarillo" by Tony Christie
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Later on in the spring term,
0:30:42 > 0:30:45an unfamiliar face is back at Holyrood.
0:30:45 > 0:30:50Zoe is determined to try for a full day in school.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- So have I to wait here till the teacher comes?- Yeah.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56'Today, Zoe's going to be with us for the full day,
0:30:56 > 0:30:59so this is the longest period of time she's spent in school
0:30:59 > 0:31:02since lst year. So, really good. I'm delighted about that.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Her skin's a wee bit sore, but she wants to stay in the full day.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08I'm going to be round about and I'll come back up and see her.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12She's got a phone so she can text me. We'll just see what happens.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16I've got English, art, technical,
0:31:16 > 0:31:19French and maths. But I can't do those two,
0:31:19 > 0:31:23So I've to stay in for the whole day, but I can't do those two.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26I actually don't know what it's like to actually be in for the whole day,
0:31:26 > 0:31:29but I'll try my hardest to stay in.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32She's as bright as a wee button and she's very determined
0:31:32 > 0:31:34to go to her classes and participate as much as she can.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36I'm sure she'll make it to the end of the day.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39If she can last the full day at school,
0:31:39 > 0:31:42this will be a massive step forward for Zoe.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Thank you all for applying and your interest in Malawi.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- I'm sure you've been very moved by what you've seen.- ALL: Yes.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57Every year, a handful of places in the Malawi team are offered
0:31:57 > 0:32:00to 5th year students. Only the best get to go,
0:32:00 > 0:32:03as the trip is physically and mentally tough
0:32:03 > 0:32:08and a huge amount for a 16 or 17-year-old to cope with.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13First of all, I want to say well done...
0:32:13 > 0:32:175th years Lauren and Ross have both set their heart on going,
0:32:17 > 0:32:21despite a huge work load as they have Highers next term.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25If I go, would be a great experience for myself if I got it.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27So, yeah, would be good.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30I feel quite confident that we've got pointers and that,
0:32:30 > 0:32:33but it's probably just about going home and preparing for it.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35If you don't prepare, you'll just be all over the place.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- Aye, and you'll be mumbling... - It might affect you.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40It wasn't actually scary, it's just the waiting for it.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42They're really nice on the panel,
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- not just kind of sitting... - Staring at you.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47I'll probably end up stuttering anyway.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49I'll be shaking. My knees will be shaking.
0:32:59 > 0:33:024th Year Bernice is one step away
0:33:02 > 0:33:05from being asked to leave Holyrood next year.
0:33:05 > 0:33:06You coming in, aye?
0:33:06 > 0:33:09'I've been struggling a bit with school.'
0:33:09 > 0:33:12I'd been put in halfway through term and there was classes
0:33:12 > 0:33:13I didn't know anything about.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17New teachers, new people. I was, like, lost basically.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20I started kind of, you know,
0:33:20 > 0:33:22dragging a bit in classes
0:33:22 > 0:33:26and not knowing what I was doing, so I was kind of struggling.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30I'd leave and sit in the toilets sometimes, like myself.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33I didn't want to go into the classes,
0:33:33 > 0:33:35so that was making it worse, obviously.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38And my attendance just kept getting lower and lower.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Bernice is one person whom we assumed would be leaving school,
0:33:41 > 0:33:44given her lack of attendance which was quite deplorable.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Her lack of commitment, her lack of progress...
0:33:47 > 0:33:50I mean, the judgment was... and it was sound advice from her
0:33:50 > 0:33:52pastoral care staff and year head,
0:33:52 > 0:33:54that she'd be best advised to leave school.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57We've now looked at it again. I've spoken to Bernice
0:33:57 > 0:34:00and her mum and listened to them carefully about her ambitions
0:34:00 > 0:34:01and her aspirations,
0:34:01 > 0:34:04and it is not too late for Bernice, you know.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06But this is the crucial watershed time for her.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Bernice has been given a last chance to stay by Tom,
0:34:11 > 0:34:15but she needs to take it or she will be asked to leave for good.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Zoe was hoping to make it through a full day at Holyrood,
0:34:21 > 0:34:24but her mum's not sure if she's done it.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27She's waiting anxiously to hear how she got on.
0:34:27 > 0:34:32This is the first time she's had to come out herself,
0:34:32 > 0:34:35so I don't know. I don't know how she'll be.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38And Zoe's determination has paid off...
0:34:40 > 0:34:43..as she leaves with all of her classmates.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- All right? How did you get on?- Fine.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50'This is the first time that Zoe has spent a full day in school.'
0:34:50 > 0:34:53It's a huge step because Zoe hasn't spent much time in school this year.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55We started off bringing her in for half a day
0:34:55 > 0:34:57or even two or three periods at a time.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00We increased that and now today, she's been here for the whole day.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04I'm hoping having done one full day, she'll maybe do a couple next week
0:35:04 > 0:35:05just before the end of term.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08And we can pick that up again after the holidays.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11She's done well and the fact that she lasted until three o'clock.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15A lot of people didn't think she was going to last, so...
0:35:15 > 0:35:18She's kidding on she's no' tired, but she is really.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21I just really want to walk down the hill.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Zoe has made it through a full day
0:35:25 > 0:35:28and is already aiming for a full week at Holyrood.
0:35:35 > 0:35:40It's the night of 5th Year Santino's speech competition.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43It's being held in Glasgow City Chambers
0:35:43 > 0:35:46and his whole family and 4th Year girlfriend Victoria
0:35:46 > 0:35:48have all turned up to lend their support
0:35:48 > 0:35:51as he takes on the competition.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54I think he'll do well. I don't know if he'll win it,
0:35:54 > 0:35:55but he'll do pretty well.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- It's great.- I'm very excited. A wee bit nervous for him,
0:35:58 > 0:36:02- but I think he'll be OK.- I'd say he's got a very strong chance.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Eight out of ten, perhaps.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10I'm just worried that I kind of... I get a bit too nervous
0:36:10 > 0:36:12and I start to look at my notes more than I should be.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15But I definitely know it, more or less.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18It's just making sure I keep the nerves under control.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Nerves are good, but not too much.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23APPLAUSE
0:36:24 > 0:36:27It is a real pleasure for me this evening
0:36:27 > 0:36:30to formally open
0:36:30 > 0:36:34the Glasgow Speakers' Club Annual Speaking Competition.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38Santino is putting the final touches to his speech
0:36:38 > 0:36:40in the only place he can get some privacy.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Is this not...? Is this not the uncivilised split
0:36:46 > 0:36:49against young peoples' civil liberties?
0:36:49 > 0:36:53..and we now take our democracy so much for granted,
0:36:53 > 0:36:56that we really just don't care who governs us.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58As Mark Twain once wrote,
0:36:58 > 0:37:02"When I was a boy of 15... 15, my father was so ignorant,
0:37:02 > 0:37:05"I was just... I could hardly stand to have the old man around."
0:37:08 > 0:37:11Real democracy in action,
0:37:11 > 0:37:14and isn't it beautiful?
0:37:18 > 0:37:22We CAN make a difference.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24APPLAUSE
0:37:24 > 0:37:27With the other students all having had their turn,
0:37:27 > 0:37:31it's Santino's moment to shine.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Do not forget that we are the ones
0:37:33 > 0:37:37who'll be answering your call centre phones, nursing you,
0:37:37 > 0:37:41paying the taxes and policing your streets.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Why should everybody...?
0:37:43 > 0:37:44Young people...
0:37:48 > 0:37:52"But when I got to be 21, I was astonished
0:37:52 > 0:37:56"at how much he had learned in seven years."
0:37:56 > 0:37:57Thank you.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59APPLAUSE
0:38:02 > 0:38:05They were all very, very good.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09Every speaker, so we'll just have to see.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13Everyone seems really impressed, but I guess they've got to say that.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16But it seems really good. Everyone seemed to enjoy it.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Victoria, who's not usually...
0:38:19 > 0:38:21You know, she's hard to impress.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Proud of him. He did well. Very good.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27This is my wee cousin, Francesco.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29INTERVIEWER: What do you think of him?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31He was very good. I think he should win.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34I'm not biased because I don't like him that much,
0:38:34 > 0:38:36but I thought he was very good.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Santino's cousin may think he should win,
0:38:39 > 0:38:43but they will both have to wait for the official verdict.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49Back in the Gorbals, Bernice lives with her two sisters and her mum,
0:38:49 > 0:38:53who was shocked to hear she'd been lying to her and skipping school.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58She was quiet, withdrawn.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01"How was school?" "Yeah, great."
0:39:01 > 0:39:05And I knew, with a one-word answer, there was something
0:39:05 > 0:39:07that wasn't coming true.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09You know, there was something more, something hidden.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13I started investigating, trying to find out what was going on.
0:39:13 > 0:39:18She was taking days off and, you know, visiting the old school,
0:39:18 > 0:39:20going back up to see pals.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24Bernice joined Holyrood last year after moving schools.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28But ever since, has struggled to settle in.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31They were just like, "Oh, it doesn't matter.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33"I've been to the attendance counsels and all that.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36"It's nothing, they don't go to court.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39"They're just saying it to scare you."
0:39:39 > 0:39:41So I was like, "Oh, I'm not as worried now.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44"I feel better. I don't have anything to worry about.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46"Don't worry, you're not going to get caught really."
0:39:46 > 0:39:50I'd come in, Mum would be like, "Hi, how was school?"
0:39:50 > 0:39:54And I'm like, "Yeah, it was good, it was good, uh-huh.
0:39:54 > 0:39:55"I had a good day."
0:39:55 > 0:39:57And then straight up to my bed,
0:39:57 > 0:40:02up to my room to sit in here. I was like, "What if she knows and she's not telling me?
0:40:02 > 0:40:05"She's waiting to see if I'm lying and stuff."
0:40:05 > 0:40:08It would just go round and round in my head.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11I kind of learned, you know,
0:40:11 > 0:40:14I learned how to lie, basically.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16It feels horrible saying that, actually!
0:40:16 > 0:40:19I was devastated, as a mother.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Do you know, I've been through every emotion with Bernice
0:40:22 > 0:40:25and I don't hide my emotions with her.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28You know, she saw me cry with sheer frustration.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30"I don't know what else to do, Bernice."
0:40:30 > 0:40:33I went and spoke to Mr McDonald.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35He then worked with me
0:40:35 > 0:40:39and we came up with the plan
0:40:39 > 0:40:43that we would give her this final chance to prove herself.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46He's my best buddy now, honestly. He was just great.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50He just pulled me right out of the hole I was in, I think.
0:40:50 > 0:40:55And I think he gave me the push I needed to start working
0:40:55 > 0:40:56and start getting in to school
0:40:56 > 0:40:59and just ignore people that are going away to dog it.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Bernice made a couple of bad choices.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06Let's hope that's the last bad choices she's made.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Em, she's a bright girl. She is capable of it.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12She's got a natural ability and she will do well,
0:41:12 > 0:41:16because I'll be there every step of the way.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18The next few months are crucial for Bernice.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21If her attendance drops again,
0:41:21 > 0:41:27she will be forced to leave Holyrood without any qualifications.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29APPLAUSE
0:41:29 > 0:41:33Mr Chairman. Distinguished guests. Ladies and Gentlemen...
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Now it's the moment of truth for Santino.
0:41:36 > 0:41:42Our winner for the speakers contest is Rory Elrick.
0:41:42 > 0:41:43APPLAUSE
0:41:48 > 0:41:52This time, Santino hasn't won first place
0:41:52 > 0:41:56and although he spoke well, he'll have to try again next year.
0:41:56 > 0:42:01A bit disappointed but it was a good experience overall, so I was quite pleased.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Gutted for him. But he did very well, did his best.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06He should have won, but...
0:42:06 > 0:42:10It's a, it's a travesty. It's a farce.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13I'm appealing this decision. HE LAUGHS
0:42:13 > 0:42:18Malawi hopeful, Lauren, lives with her mum and dad in Govanhill.
0:42:18 > 0:42:23This is basically my life on a wall, right. This is just like...
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Right, I'll start, there's blocks, this is Katy Perry.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29She's stunning, she's brilliant, hilarious as well.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32This is Sean's little bit. Sean's the boyfriend.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36This is the bit where it's funny people. Lady Gaga falling in the airport.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39That's fat Gemma from The Only Way Is Essex working out, I thought that was hilarious.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43She's desperate to be one of the chosen few 5th Years going on the trip
0:42:43 > 0:42:46and is getting ready for the interviews tomorrow.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49I want to, this sounds really weird, but I just want to like travel
0:42:49 > 0:42:51and do so many things and stuff.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54And just like go around and just see everything.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58I even want to go to India. You know how they eat food on the floor and stuff?
0:42:58 > 0:43:00I want to do all that, be so good.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04There's actually a list on my wall of the things I want to do and "go to Malawi" is on the wall.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06I definitely want to see all the world.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10I want to experience all the world. All the different cultures and meet new people.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13I love meeting new people, making new friends.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16My last one's "never grow up". Nobody wants to grow up, it sucks,
0:43:16 > 0:43:19being 40 and you've got three friends and two cats.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22Lauren has to impress at tomorrow's Malawi interview,
0:43:22 > 0:43:26or her dreams will have to stay as a list on her wall,
0:43:26 > 0:43:28rather than a reality.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35By the second part of the spring term, the snow may have gone,
0:43:35 > 0:43:40but Daniel is still at Bernadette's door every day on an attendance card.
0:43:41 > 0:43:45You can get a green one, that's for dogging
0:43:45 > 0:43:49and you get a yellow one for behaviour.
0:43:49 > 0:43:53I give it to all my teachers, they see if I've been in class.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56I have to go to Mrs O'Shea every morning to get one.
0:43:56 > 0:44:00At the end of the day, you have to go give it to Mrs O'Shea to sign it.
0:44:00 > 0:44:01I don't. I go home straight away.
0:44:01 > 0:44:05Bernadette has been working closely with pastoral teacher Robert
0:44:05 > 0:44:07to get Daniel back on track.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10The plan was that this week we would, you know,
0:44:10 > 0:44:13all the children carrying cards, if they did really well,
0:44:13 > 0:44:17we'd take them off the cards next week when we're only in school for three days.
0:44:17 > 0:44:19We'll think about it and see what we can do.
0:44:19 > 0:44:24He's been much better than he was in the last month. He's been here pretty much every day.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27I think certainly better than at the start of the year,
0:44:27 > 0:44:29when he was in and out like a yo-yo.
0:44:29 > 0:44:33He seems to have settled. It must be Robert's good influence on him.
0:44:33 > 0:44:36I'm not sure how many we'll take from 5th Year yet.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38They'll be a whole balanced team and so on, so...
0:44:38 > 0:44:41Lauren is first in to the 5th Year Malawi interviews.
0:44:41 > 0:44:45There are so many people that have applied for it, so if we get picked
0:44:45 > 0:44:49it means they've taken an interest to you, but I am nervous. My palms are pure sweating.
0:44:49 > 0:44:51LAUGHS Hi, Miss.
0:44:51 > 0:44:55What would Lauren bring to the Malawi team for 2011?
0:44:55 > 0:44:59I'm a good team leader but I know how to go about it in the right ways
0:44:59 > 0:45:02and I know to listen to people and I can be there for them,
0:45:02 > 0:45:04if someone was struggling and homesick, I could comfort them.
0:45:04 > 0:45:08Sorry, I'm really nervous... My throat's pure dry.
0:45:08 > 0:45:105th Year Ross is next in.
0:45:10 > 0:45:12The main thing is, just any situation, just stay calm,
0:45:12 > 0:45:16because if you don't stay calm then you start working up your body
0:45:16 > 0:45:19and that makes you start shaking and nervous, so relax at all times.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22- Lauren, thanks again for coming along.- Thanks very much.
0:45:22 > 0:45:27- OK, well done.- Thanks for your time.- Lauren was really herself.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30- She has a big personality. Great sense of fun.- "Totally"!
0:45:30 > 0:45:32"Totally" great personality, Lauren has.
0:45:32 > 0:45:38She has, you see Lauren in, around the school. You can always hear Lauren before you see her.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41I think it went well and I'm pleased with it.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43I'm glad I didn't go home and structure and rehearse it.
0:45:43 > 0:45:47I think it would've brought me down when I was just myself, so I think that came across well.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50It would be a lifetime ambition for me to take on
0:45:50 > 0:45:54and makes me want to strive to try and get into the team.
0:45:54 > 0:45:58I can take so much away from being in the Malawi team and I can bring a lot to it.
0:45:58 > 0:46:02- So, em, just need to strive to it and it'll self-motivate me. - Thank you.
0:46:06 > 0:46:07I thought that went well.
0:46:07 > 0:46:11I thought he would maybe come over a bit better at interview.
0:46:11 > 0:46:12I think he sold himself short a bit,
0:46:12 > 0:46:16but he still had a very good interview, let's not get away from that.
0:46:16 > 0:46:19It's all down to them to pick a team for the Malawi 2011.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21Fingers crossed that I'm in it.
0:46:21 > 0:46:25I think I've done what I can. Tried my best in interview. So, yeah.
0:46:25 > 0:46:28It's very interesting that at this level,
0:46:28 > 0:46:33what's come through to us, S5 and S6, is that the boys are less equipped
0:46:33 > 0:46:35to present themselves well at interview
0:46:35 > 0:46:40and maybe that's an indication for us, we've got a bit of work to do with the boys in there.
0:46:40 > 0:46:45The girls are more readily confident, communicative
0:46:45 > 0:46:47and what is it with the boys? You know...
0:46:47 > 0:46:52- That goes on through life, of course.- Well maybe so, that's right.
0:46:52 > 0:46:55- These two kind of go together. - They're friends, right, OK...
0:46:55 > 0:46:59The kids going for Malawi will have to wait until tomorrow
0:46:59 > 0:47:02- to see if they have been successful. - THEY CONFER
0:47:11 > 0:47:16Bernice has to report to Tom every day to make sure she is on track.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19- Go to all your classes today, yes, no problem?- Yes.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22This morning I was a little late but I went up and got my...
0:47:22 > 0:47:26- Why were you late?- Had to get something sorted with my dad.
0:47:26 > 0:47:30- Not been tempted to dog off school again?- Not at all, no.
0:47:30 > 0:47:34- Thanks, sir.- OK, see you tomorrow. - OK, see you tomorrow.
0:47:34 > 0:47:36Speak to you later on then, bye-bye.
0:47:36 > 0:47:41We want Bernice to really take, I suppose, responsibility herself, for her own actions
0:47:41 > 0:47:44and to take responsibility for her own attendance.
0:47:44 > 0:47:45She's in school, attending school,
0:47:45 > 0:47:49realising it's not excuses to not be in school at all.
0:47:49 > 0:47:52And she'll be here, committed, and be working really hard.
0:47:52 > 0:47:55I think she's doing that already. I think she's doing that.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58What Tom doesn't yet know, though,
0:47:58 > 0:48:02is that she is way behind in crucial exam course work.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10Daniel looked like a tough nut to crack,
0:48:10 > 0:48:15but is now talking about wanting to stay at Holyrood.
0:48:15 > 0:48:19- It's been about a month since I've dogged it.- You dogged it about two weeks, two days ago.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21But I just don't like dogging it any more.
0:48:21 > 0:48:24I need to change school if I dog it again.
0:48:24 > 0:48:29It seems his attitude towards school may slowly be changing.
0:48:32 > 0:48:36Another letter has arrived for Max, from Pembroke College
0:48:36 > 0:48:38at Oxford University.
0:48:38 > 0:48:42It's Max's last chance of fulfilling his university dream.
0:48:42 > 0:48:46Well, we've got a second envelope in from Pembroke College now,
0:48:46 > 0:48:50so we're keeping our fingers crossed he might get offered a place there.
0:48:50 > 0:48:51Mm, moment of truth.
0:48:51 > 0:48:56Open the letter, hurry up. Just be done with it.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02LAUGHS Yeah, I got a place.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04- Oh, well done, you. - APPLAUSE
0:49:07 > 0:49:11- Oh, I'm so relieved. - Oh, I'm so pleased for you. I'm so pleased for you.
0:49:11 > 0:49:14Oh, I'm so pleased.
0:49:14 > 0:49:17I'm just, I'm really, really pleased for him.
0:49:17 > 0:49:20I felt he deserved to get offered a place.
0:49:20 > 0:49:24So I'm just really pleased for him, cos he's worked really hard for it.
0:49:24 > 0:49:26So, I'm over the moon.
0:49:26 > 0:49:29I'm really pleased to know that I've got that,
0:49:29 > 0:49:31the opportunity there for me, so...
0:49:31 > 0:49:33It's just a massive relief.
0:49:42 > 0:49:46Bernice has been called to see Tom, as he has now heard
0:49:46 > 0:49:50that she has fallen behind with crucial course work.
0:49:50 > 0:49:53If Bernice doesn't pull her socks up,
0:49:53 > 0:49:56there'll be nothing to be gained by returning to senior school for her.
0:49:56 > 0:50:01She really will have, I suppose, made a decision that academic life is not for her.
0:50:01 > 0:50:03So she's got to get the attitude in mind
0:50:03 > 0:50:06that no matter what she does, she needs to commit herself fully.
0:50:09 > 0:50:12Miss Belton told me you hadn't done folio pieces,
0:50:12 > 0:50:13so what have you done now?
0:50:13 > 0:50:16I have completed my conveying information
0:50:16 > 0:50:19and the short story and the poem by Ted Hughes as well.
0:50:19 > 0:50:21So it's all complete.
0:50:21 > 0:50:23So you've hardly been on time many days, have you?
0:50:23 > 0:50:26So we've got you in school, got you committed,
0:50:26 > 0:50:30got you doing your work again. Next stage is, get here in time.
0:50:30 > 0:50:32OK, make sure Miss Belton gets those, Bernice.
0:50:32 > 0:50:35She'll be delighted to receive them. Well done. Proud of you, well done.
0:50:35 > 0:50:39- That's really good. Right, thank you. See you later on.- Bye.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41'I'm just glad that it's done now.'
0:50:41 > 0:50:44My teacher was like, "Well done. At least it's in on time.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47"You're not going away without a mark for English
0:50:47 > 0:50:51"at the end of the day." That's... Oh, I feel brilliant now.
0:50:51 > 0:50:54What I'm encouraged by, her teachers tell me that with Bernice,
0:50:54 > 0:50:56it's not too late. Now, that's unusual.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59At this stage, it would often be too late. We'd have lost her.
0:50:59 > 0:51:01But given her undoubted native wit which she has,
0:51:01 > 0:51:04inherent intelligence and intellect,
0:51:04 > 0:51:08she has potential to get there. So there's still a danger with Bernice,
0:51:08 > 0:51:12there's still a danger she may well simply give up and slide back again.
0:51:12 > 0:51:14I hope not, but I think that's still there.
0:51:19 > 0:51:22It has been a full three weeks since Zoe has missed a day at school.
0:51:24 > 0:51:27Bernadette is delighted with her progress.
0:51:27 > 0:51:30Zoe's the kind of wee girl that every time she comes in,
0:51:30 > 0:51:33she's really glad to be here. She wants to be in her classes.
0:51:33 > 0:51:36We feel it's going really well, you know.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39We just want her here full time now. She's been here part time
0:51:39 > 0:51:41for quite a considerable period of time now.
0:51:41 > 0:51:44We want her to be here all day now. She's a great wee girl.
0:51:45 > 0:51:48Having made huge progress in the last few weeks,
0:51:48 > 0:51:50Zoe has fulfilled her dream
0:51:50 > 0:51:54of becoming a full-time Holyrood pupil.
0:51:57 > 0:52:02With exams looming, Santino is busy and Victoria has some news.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04Yeah, so we've split up now.
0:52:04 > 0:52:09It happened yesterday at lunch. We were just walking.
0:52:09 > 0:52:11We'd talked about it the night before
0:52:11 > 0:52:13and we decided that was it.
0:52:13 > 0:52:17It'd ran its course. Finished.
0:52:18 > 0:52:22- I'm back on the...- The market. - Back on the market.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25Interviewer: You're friends, though?
0:52:26 > 0:52:28Yeah, let's call it friends.
0:52:29 > 0:52:32Yeah, he'll come back to me. That'll happen.
0:52:32 > 0:52:35Just kidding!
0:52:35 > 0:52:37Don't show him that!
0:52:39 > 0:52:41He probably will, but.
0:52:41 > 0:52:43Yeah. It'll happen again.
0:52:48 > 0:52:51Max may have had an offer from Oxford,
0:52:51 > 0:52:54but he's having second thoughts
0:52:54 > 0:52:58and is now thinking about going to St Andrews University instead.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01Oxford, I just think might be a bit of a risk.
0:53:01 > 0:53:05I mean, I'm sure I'd find it interesting and everything,
0:53:05 > 0:53:09but I don't think there's any point in going there for the sake of it,
0:53:09 > 0:53:13when I know that I'm really going to love the international relations
0:53:13 > 0:53:14at St Andrews.
0:53:17 > 0:53:19Money and everything else aside, you know,
0:53:19 > 0:53:22it's probably going to cost about 15 grand a year
0:53:22 > 0:53:26to go to Oxford. At St Andrews, I just have my accommodation costs.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31So, I just think it's looking...
0:53:31 > 0:53:34St Andrews is looking the best option.
0:53:38 > 0:53:39At the start of the term,
0:53:39 > 0:53:42Daniel's behaviour was giving Bernadette real worries.
0:53:42 > 0:53:45He looked as if he might be changing.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48But has a term of support and monitoring
0:53:48 > 0:53:50really made any difference?
0:53:51 > 0:53:53Have a seat.
0:53:53 > 0:53:57The difference between Daniel Mutombo
0:53:57 > 0:54:00three or four months ago and now
0:54:00 > 0:54:02is incredible and a big difference.
0:54:02 > 0:54:06At the start of the year and throughout the course of the year,
0:54:06 > 0:54:09Daniel had been missing from some of his classes.
0:54:09 > 0:54:12We pursued him quite a bit with regard to that.
0:54:12 > 0:54:14We gave him a support card. We had meetings with him.
0:54:14 > 0:54:18We eventually brought him to the attendance counsellor with his mum
0:54:18 > 0:54:20because it had become quite a worry for us.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23However, he seems to be back on track now.
0:54:23 > 0:54:27I think he's learnt his lesson. He knows we're watching him, we're monitoring him
0:54:27 > 0:54:31and that we will take action if he decides to go off the rails again.
0:54:31 > 0:54:34Maybe he'll get fed up with us being on his back all the time
0:54:34 > 0:54:36and decide it's a better option to be in school, hopefully!
0:54:36 > 0:54:40If I truanted again, I wouldn't be allowed to go out after school,
0:54:40 > 0:54:42so it would be rubbish.
0:54:42 > 0:54:45I wouldn't get to see my friends and stuff
0:54:45 > 0:54:48and go out on my own at weekends. So it's better now.
0:54:48 > 0:54:51At first, I was like, "Don't care!"
0:54:51 > 0:54:55Just...just sit around and do nothing,
0:54:55 > 0:54:58but now I want to try my hardest.
0:55:00 > 0:55:04Thanks to everyone concerned. You've been absolutely magnificent.
0:55:04 > 0:55:07There was not a bad interview. Not a single bad interview.
0:55:07 > 0:55:09I'm going to give you a letter individually.
0:55:09 > 0:55:13It's the moment of truth for the hopeful Malawi candidates.
0:55:13 > 0:55:18For most of the 6th Year, this will be the crowning achievement
0:55:18 > 0:55:21of their education, and nerves are running high.
0:55:21 > 0:55:25I've got 5th Year first of all. Marie Gallagher. Where's Marie?
0:55:29 > 0:55:32Ross, Ryan...
0:55:35 > 0:55:38Hm.
0:55:38 > 0:55:41Nah.
0:55:43 > 0:55:46Same as you. Unsuccessful.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48Take it on the chin, move on.
0:55:51 > 0:55:53I got through.
0:55:53 > 0:55:55Bit overwhelmed and a bit sweaty.
0:55:55 > 0:55:57LAUGHTER
0:55:57 > 0:56:00I got in, so I'm going to start crying.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02I don't want to open it, I don't know.
0:56:02 > 0:56:04I don't know what to feel.
0:56:04 > 0:56:05Oh, I got in. I got in.
0:56:05 > 0:56:10Loads of my pals as well. I'm so pleased.
0:56:10 > 0:56:12My mum's not even answering her phone.
0:56:12 > 0:56:14So I need to go up the road and tell her.
0:56:16 > 0:56:18I'm actually petrified right now.
0:56:23 > 0:56:25SHE SQUEALS
0:56:30 > 0:56:32Oh, my God!
0:56:34 > 0:56:36Basically, I opened my letter and I was like, "Oh, my God.
0:56:36 > 0:56:40"I haven't got in." And then I saw the, "I am pleased to inform you..."
0:56:40 > 0:56:43And I died a little bit inside with excitement. I am actually so happy,
0:56:43 > 0:56:46but it's sad for people that never got through. I feel bad for them.
0:56:46 > 0:56:49INTERVIEWER: What's happened?
0:56:53 > 0:56:58'Fariha's not got through and I can tell it's breaking her heart.'
0:56:58 > 0:57:00She thought it was going to happen.
0:57:00 > 0:57:05We all had our hopes up for her and it's an actual complete gutter
0:57:05 > 0:57:08that she's not got through. She really deserved it.
0:57:08 > 0:57:12Troops, can I get a group hug here? Can I get a group hug? I'm so happy.
0:57:12 > 0:57:17See the captain thing? It's nothing compared to what I feel right now.
0:57:17 > 0:57:21It's... This is going to change my life, it really is.
0:57:21 > 0:57:24Next time at Holyrood...
0:57:24 > 0:57:26So far, Bernice hasn't shown.
0:57:26 > 0:57:29Tom's faith in Bernice hangs in the balance as he waits for her
0:57:29 > 0:57:31to turn up for her first exam.
0:57:33 > 0:57:35She should be here, but I can't see her anywhere.
0:57:35 > 0:57:38The school show takes its toll on Terri.
0:57:38 > 0:57:41Are both the spots on? Put the spots on! Put the spots on!
0:57:41 > 0:57:44Student teacher Cheryl takes the reigns
0:57:44 > 0:57:46and prepares for her final exam.
0:57:46 > 0:57:49If you're not good at getting up and doing that, you can't have it yet.
0:57:49 > 0:57:51This is the last one.
0:57:51 > 0:57:54The Malawi team leave their parents behind...
0:57:54 > 0:57:56I feel like such a gimp for crying.
0:57:56 > 0:57:59..and arrive in Africa to a huge welcome.
0:57:59 > 0:58:01It's unbelievable!
0:58:01 > 0:58:04Lauren gets the chance to eat like the locals in Africa.
0:58:04 > 0:58:06Do you eat the claws and stuff as well?
0:58:06 > 0:58:10And all the kids are tested physically and emotionally...
0:58:10 > 0:58:13They are so amazing people. It's just so sad.
0:58:13 > 0:58:17..as the team rush to reach their goals...
0:58:17 > 0:58:20These bricks make it slightly harder to get a flat, straight wall.
0:58:20 > 0:58:22..try to make a difference.
0:58:22 > 0:58:25These children deserve better and we'll give them better.
0:58:25 > 0:58:28..and all make it safely back to Glasgow
0:58:28 > 0:58:30to finish the year on a high.
