Hi,
In fairness my son if he hadn´t got dyslexia would not be going there. Now where he would be going I am not sure in the D9 area. I don´t think Rosmini is as bad as it is painted. There are good and bad in every school and in the D9 area you will get a "rough" mix in all the schools.
My school of first choice was Mount Temple but I was too late on the waiting list and that was history as they say. My son is happy there and will kick a blue stink if I try to move him. A lot of the pupils in the school come from outside the area, that is Marino, Clontarf, Artane/Beaumont, Whitehall, Drumcondra and Ballymun/Santry. I think if your son/daughter are more practical or arty and like to mix with boys/girls its a great school for that.
I heard terrible things about the school and I have been very surprised, the school is disciplined, and there is no bullying it is not tolerated. The boys and girls get along great, the girls that go there I often wonder why with so many good girls schools on their doorsteps.
I guess you know your kids the best, my daughter for instance I have her name down in Domincans and Maryfield. Both are great girls schools right beside each other. I would prefer her to go to a mixed school but its either, Ballymun Comprehensive, Rosmini or Mount Temple or indeed Scoil Chatriona the gaelscoil. But for a girl either Dominicans or Maryfield, outside of Belvedere Private Boys school, Domicans have the best results on the North side of the city. As for Rosmini your right to be wary, but my son is happy, loves it and is doing well. If it is a boy its harder to get a good school in the area, thats just my opinion I didn´t like any of them. I hope I haven´t confused you too much.

Hi,
I replied to another request and I list some schools including Rosmini. My son goes there and is in 3rd year. We, his parents, have mixed views about the school, but my son loves it and all his year/classmates both boys and girls get on very well together. It has its problems as it caters for Special needs of all kinds. But it does incorporate the School of the Blind and its wonderful to see these people integrated into the school. It has a huge range of subjects, specialising in art, metal/woodwork and music. All I´ll say is it hasn´t a good reputation locally as most don´t understand its ethos and the fact it has a large amount of special needs. Our son has done extremely well and is extremely happy. If you´d like you child to go to a mixed school you´d do worse than Rosmini. The best around is Mount Temple, similar subjects and also a mixed school. Rosmini is Catholic and Mount Temple is non-denominationally but has a protestant ethos. The only other differences are Mount Temple would have less special needs and Rosmini has a strict uniform code. Try both and find out for yourself.
