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'.

Wellbeing Week - A Mindfulness Morning in The Sanctuary

On Wednesday 1st March 2017, a group of 6th year students visited The Sanctuary, a meditation centre founded by Sister Stan. The purpose of this trip was to give students the opportunity to reflect on what they had learned during the programme, a 10 week course aimed at giving young people a taste of mindfulness. Students identified some of the mindfulness skills that they have been practising at home. They participated in a radio frequency meditation in the tranquil surroundings of the meditation garden. A peaceful retreat from the busyness of school life was had by all. A special thanks to Jen from the Ballymun School Completion Project and Mr Turbitt for all their work with students on this project.
