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

Bernard Brogan brings the Sam Maguire cup to Rosmini

Bernard Brogan brings the Sam Maguire cup to Rosmini in 2013. As a school with a proud GAA tradition, this was a marvellous occasion for Rosmini. Staff and students alike thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon of craic and stories from a Dublin legend. Sam, incredibly, eluded the Dubs in 2014 but we are very proud at his return to the capital in 2015, 2016 and again in 2017! Well done to the management team and to Bernard and the entire playing squad following an incredible '3 in a row'.

Paul Geoghegan makes debut at German Judo Blind Open in Heidelberg

Transition Year student Paul Geoghegan recently made his international debut at the German judo Blind Open at the -73kg category. Paul weighed in at 72.8kg and declared "phew, now it's time to eat!." There were many world ranking players in Paul's category so the important goal was to gain experience and prepare for the future. As coach and past pupil Colly Kiernan said, "The competition was fierce, Athletes from all over the world were present, I use the term Athletes because that’s what they were, some of the most competitive and able bodied judo players I have ever seen. The range of techniques on display was phenomenal, the ability to change direction whilst hoping backwards of an attack and still able to place their foot in the exact position required to enable them to complete their favoured throw. To put simply for anyone who does not practice Judo, These Judoka, yet visually impaired, would not be out of place in a mainstream event".
