caption_attribution_description: This archive is part of our new gallery celebrating the 50th Anniversary of State Records Although punishments at school have changed and corporal punishment is no longer allowed, we can see from the offences that children have not changed. This Punishment Book, from the school attended by Henry Lawson, is one of the earliest surviving examples of this type of record. It should be noted that there are no entries for Henry Lawson in this record. NRS 3931 Punishment Book Eurunderee, [4/7548] View on the Gallery &#187; Rights: www.records.nsw.gov.au/about-us/rights-and-permissions We'd love to hear from you if you use our photos/documents.
context_page_description: School discipline relates to the actions taken by a teacher or the school organization towards a student when the student's behavior disrupts the ongoing educational activity or breaks a rule created by the school. Discipline can guide the children's behaviour or set limits to help them learn to take better care of themselves, other people and the world around them.
  School systems set rules, and if students break these rules they are subject to discipline. These rules may, for example, define the expected standards of school uniform, punctuality, social conduct, and work ethic. The term "discipline" is applied to the punishment that is the consequence of breaking the rules. The aim of discipline is to set limits restricting certain behaviors or attitudes that are seen as harmful or against school policies, educational norms, school traditions, etc. The focus of discipline is shifting and alternative approaches are emerging due to notably high dropout rates and disproportionate punishment upon minority students.
