Rosmini past pupil, Greta Streimikyte, narrowly missed out on a bronze medal position in the final of the Paralympics 1500m race in Rio, Brazil last Saturday. She fell behind early on to avoid any possible jostling and had a difficult job to catch up with the pack.

Past pupil, Greta Streimikyte, set a new Irish record of 4.51.75 during her heat yesterday (Thursday, 8 September 2016) in the T13 1500m race. She finished third in her heat and has now qualified for the final on Saturday. Greta's previous personal best was 4.48.85, placing her fourth in the rankings. Her rise has been magnificent as only last May she took 6 seconds off her then personal best to be second in the world rankings at the time.
We would like to wish past pupil. Greta Streimikyte, every success participating in the Paralympics starting soon in Rio. Greta completed her Leaving Certificate Applied in 2013 and is now a student of International Relations in DCU. She is running in the 1500m (T13 clasification) heats on Thursday, 8 September at approximately 3.30pm Irish time.. The final is on Saturday, 10 September at approximately 3.10pm.
Congratulations to all our students who did so well in their leaving certificate. All of them have secured places at third level and we wish them every success as they pursue their chosen courses.
Pictured is Conor O'Reilly who was delighted upon opening his results to find he achieved 525 points. Conor will soon commence a Secondary teaching course in St. Patrick's College, Drumcondra.
Congratulations Conor and all our sixth years.
We wish you all every success.
In order to support our past pupils who have started their own businesses, Rosmini Community School has decided to include a link to relevant sites in our list of links. The first business in this category is that run by Warren Faye, an artist whose works feature in both Ireland and the United States. He has recently designed and produced wonderful calendars to commemorate the Battle of Clontarf. We wish Warren well and congratulate him on his marvellous work. His work can be viewed on warrenfaye.com .
