Corporal punishment ([[Caning in Singapore#Schoolcaning|caning]]) (for boys only) is always given across the student's buttocks, typically two strokes. Offences for which Deyi students are caned include smoking, vulgarity, fighting, and bringing pornography to school. The discipline is usually administered either in front of the whole school, or part of the school (all of Sec1 and 2, or all of Sec3 and 4, as appropriate), or just in front of the boy's own classmates.
Often caning is combined with detention or suspension. In the case of corporal punishment combined with suspension, the student will generally receive his caning on returning to school at the end of the period of suspension.
In many cases the punishment is inflicted by Mr Wilson Lee (PE teacher).
