NRS-20640 | Punishment book [Ben Lomond (2) Public School]

Regulations under the Public Schools Act of 1866 (30 Vic. No.22), adopted by the Council [of Education] on 27 February 1867 regulated the punishment of children in schools by stipulating 'In the government of the pupils, all degrading and injurious punishments are to be avoided. The Teacher's discipline must be mild but firm, his manner kindly, his demeanour cheerful and calculated to gain the confidence of his pupils, and his language marked by strict propriety. While he should overlook no offence, his aim should be to prevent the necessity for punishment by the improvement of the offender.'In relation to corporal punishment the regulations continue: 'Corporal punishment should be inflicted in extreme cases only, and then as a last resource; and the teacher must keep a record of the time and place at which pupils were corporally chastised, the amount of such punishment and the nature of the offence.' Uniform stationery soon evolved to enable compliance with these regulations. These punishment books are registers of all punishments given to pupils. The information it details includes: the pupil's name, age, nature of offence, amount of punishment (i.e. number of strokes), the instrument of punishment (almost invariably the cane), by whom sent, the date of the punishment, and by whom the punishment was inflicted.Ben Lomond (2) Public School was known as Sidebrook Provisonal/Public School from 1885-1900.

1866年《公立学校法案》（30 Vic. No.22）项下的条例，经教育委员会（Council of Education）于1867年2月27日审议通过，对校内学生惩戒行为作出规范，其中明确规定："在学生管理工作中，需杜绝一切侮辱性与伤害性惩戒手段。教师的管教应温和且坚定，态度友善，举止得体且旨在赢得学生的信任，其言行需严格恪守礼仪规范。教师虽不应姑息任何违纪行为，但其核心目标应是通过感化违纪者，从根源上避免惩戒的必要。" 针对体罚（corporal punishment）的相关条款进一步补充道："体罚仅可在极端情形下实施，且需作为最终惩戒手段；教师必须留存完整记录，载明学生遭受体罚的时间、地点、惩戒强度以及违纪性质。" 为满足上述条例的合规要求，标准化惩戒登记簿册逐渐得到推广应用。此类惩戒登记簿完整记录了所有施加于学生的惩戒行为，其收录的详细信息包括：学生姓名、年龄、违纪性质、惩戒强度（即体罚次数）、惩戒工具（几乎均为藤鞭）、惩戒发起者、惩戒日期以及惩戒实施者。本·洛蒙德（2）公立学校（Ben Lomond (2) Public School）在1885年至1900年间，曾被称为赛德布鲁克临时/公立学校（Sidebrook Provisonal/Public School）。
