As a Great Expectations school, we focus on a different life principle every month. Our life principle for January is "Self-Control." Self-control involves the correction or regulation of oneself for the sake of improvement. In PE, Mrs. Steuart has been helping students understand the importance of self-control in their everyday lives. “All successes begin with self-discipline. It starts with you…” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
