Discipline
Nanyang Primary School maintains high discipline standards within the school. For offences such as the use of vulgarities, stealing or copying work, the pupil receives a pink slip and the parents are notified.
If the pupil has three pink slips,depending on how severe what they did was, they will be sent for detention with the Discipline Master. If the pupil receives any more pink slips, the punishment will be more serious: girls are suspended, while boys receive the cane. The cane strokes are administered to the back of the offender's shorts by the Discipline Master.

Famous quotes containing the word discipline:
“A man’s social and spiritual discipline must answer to his corporeal. He must lean on a friend who has a hard breast, as he would lie on a hard bed. He must drink cold water for his only beverage. So he must not hear sweetened and colored words, but pure and refreshing truths. He must daily bathe in truth cold as spring water, not warmed by the sympathy of friends.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Those men are most apt to be obsequious and conciliating abroad, who are under the discipline of shrews at home.”
—Washington Irving (1783–1859)
“If the factory people outside the colleges live under the discipline of narrow means, the people inside live under almost every other kind of discipline except that of narrow means—from the fruity austerities of learning, through the iron rations of English gentlemanhood, down to the modest disadvantages of occupying cold stone buildings without central heating and having to cross two or three quadrangles to take a bath.”
—Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)
