Courtesy Cooperation Consideration Common Sense I am showing courtesy for my

school when I take pride in myself and in my uniform.

I am showing cooperation when I work as part of a team.

I am showing consideration for others and myself when I

am resilient and bounce back.

I am showing common sense when I only use my iPad for

learning and stay on appropriate school apps.
