NMA Architects have provided an architectural rendering of our new school building. This image shows the view from the exit on Gracepark Road. These are exciting times for all in Rosmini and we look forward to moving into this wonderful new facility in the not so distant future.

President Higgins visits Rosmini

President Higgin's visit to Rosmini was a truly memorable experience for all on campus. Here the president is photographed with principal, Ms Cherry, former deputy principal, Ms Bourke and the Rosmini Student Council organised by Ms Dunphy. During his visit the president said "this is not just a school it is also a real community, a place that doesn't simply value a pupil by how well they do at their lessons but also by how hard they work, by how well they treat each other and of course by how much use they make of all of the individual talents they have been given

Facilities in Rosmini

The image shows some Transition Year students showcasing their digital talents. Our current temporary accommodation has a number of specialist rooms including science, art, music, ICT, woodwork & metalwork, VI resource and learning support. We are grateful to All Hallows College (now a part of Dublin City University) who are sharing their wonderful campus with us. We look forward to our new building scheduled to open in 2018 complete with state of the art facilities including sports hall.

Celebrating the Arts

In Rosmini, the Arts are an important part of our school year. The image shows 6th Year student, Shaun Garry, performing at the DCU Achievement Awards in November 2017. Also on stage was 5th Year, Luke Martin. The drama team are busy rehearsing the musical, Grease. The show will take place early 2018. In recent years, the "Rosmini's Got Talent" show was a highlight of the school calendar as was the annual music class trip to the Beatles capital, Liverpool.

A Creative Approach to Problem Solving

In this week’s First Aid for the Mind club, students were invited to work together to create a person using only sellotape & paper. Teams were encouraged to use their creative skills to help make a person that is able to stand without any support. After this activity, we looked at how being creative & using our imagination can help us to problem solve. We learned that by feeling confident, problems are not as challenging to overcome.
