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

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.

Zeminar

On Thursday 12th October 2017, 6th year students and the Ember Team attended Zeminar in the RDS Arena. This event promotes the development and wellbeing of young people in Ireland today. Throughout the day, students attended workshops on mental health and career development, listened to talks from influential speakers, received essential resources and participated in fun activities. Thanks to Ms Kearon for helping to organise a great day out.
