Corporal Punishment

Corporal Punishment

I believe Corporal punishment should be legal due to SERIOUS bad behaviour. The Dictionary states that corporal punishment is: physical punishment, as spanking, inflicted on a child by an adult in authority. 

In this argument I hope to convince you Corporal Punishment should be used only in serious situations.

Two boys Hunter and Wyat were waiting for the bus after school. Wyat went to get a drink and some lollies from the near by dairy, as Hunter waited in the bus stop. When Wyat came back he went up to Hunter went up to Hunter and said “WHERE ARE MY LOLLIES?!” Hunter replied “I did not get any for you”Intentionally Hunter knocks the drink out of Wyats hand and punches him in the stomach, leaving Wyat on the ground. A students mum comes to help him as Hunter runs away. 

After all of the chaos, Hunter was punished but not with a beating. He had 2 days off school, writing an apology letter for Wyat perfecting it as it had to be read verbally. 

I believe this boy should not have have hurt that boy, he should have been punished with the strap, because how is writing and reading out a letter going to do anything? I personally do not think Hunter has learnt his lesson. 

What goes around comes around, an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth. By bringing back corporal punishment could change everything, think of the changes, the differences in childrens behaviour. 

Would you really want your child doing something wrong and not learning a lesson out of it? Things like this situation could lead to violence at home if not dealt with properly, and I am positive you would want to feel safe in your own home, wouldn’t you? 

Overall, Wyat and Hunter still go to the same school, Hunter had one punishment which was hardly one. I hope you now see my points I have made and agree with me. 

Olivia Seymour.

Pool and Dance


Julie taught us a dance and took us to H2O xtreme pool. It was really fun.

Dare Branches


The DARE programme.

The dare program was really fun. Constable Julie is so lovely and nice. I leant so much and im sure the whole of the year 7 and 8's did as well. I knew hardly anything about drugs and making the right choice, but now I do. Learning about drugs was actually REALLY fun, not just because she handed out lollies! Julie played games with us, and we watched videos including this really funny one of this girl high on drugs after having her wisdom teeth pulled out. This was so much fun and I would love to do it again in the future! - Olivia.
