Sometimes caning for an offence does not immediately stop that behaviour and it needs to be revisited with greater severity. A good example of this was two (14 year old) boys receiving 3 strokes for copying work. They repeated this offence only 2 days later and both were caned with 4 strokes each this time. The activity appeared to cease after the second caning. I assume the third time it would be 5 or 6.
All the offences listed are very much what would be expected: disobedience, failure to do (or poorly done) assignments, truancy, bullying, vandalism, talking (in assembly), smoking, climbing various structures or being in prohibited areas at times. Of the more peculiar entries, a (12 year old) boy received 3 on the seat for “Disgusting game in the lavatory”.
