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 just one of our well-used subject areas from our original building. 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.

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'.
