Sister's school adds root CA for HTTPS interception. Ways to restrict it?

Hi everyone. Apologies if this isn't the best subreddit to post this on.

My sister's school is introducing a BYOD policy for the new year and it turns out that they want to do HTTPS interception through a product called Smoothwall. To do this they've made the students install a trusted root CA certificate which has an alarming number of purposes.

I'm wondering if there is a way to restrict this installed certificate, either to a certain wifi network, or reducing the intended purposes under certificate properties? She only needs to use Chrome at school for the Google classroom websites and webmail. I've spent a long time googling this myself but can't find any definitive information on the subject...

Thank you for your help!
