Introduction
Rosmini College was founded by the Rosminian Order in 1970 to provide education for boys in the surrounding area. We moved to a permanent building in 1982 and became a community school with a Board of Management having general responsibility for the running of the school. The Board includes representatives from the Rosminian Order, the City of Dublin Vocational Education Committee, parents and teachers. This system gives all the key people involved in the pupils' education a chance to have a real say in the school's running and development. The school became co-educational in September 2002 with an intake of 20 girls into first year. We welcomed the first visually impaired girls to Pobalscoil Rosmini in November 2003.

Parents
At Rosmini, we see parents / guardians and teachers as partners in the education of our students. Through proper use of the homework journal, parents / guardians are informed of their child's progress on a weekly basis. We hold a series of Parent / Teacher meetings during the year at which parents / guardians and teachers get a chance to meet each other and discuss the various issues relevant to the students' progress. Apart from these meetings, we welcome contact with parents / guardians on all occasions - not just when there are problems! Board of Management The Board of Management, including its Parents' Representatives, has overall responsibility for the running of the school. As such, parents have a real say in the running of the school and in the development of school policy. Parents' Association We enjoy the support of a very active Parents' Association. All new parents are considered members and are very welcome to become involved in both social and fund-raising activities. The school has benefitted greatly from the many extra resources that the Parents' Association has provided including the Computer Room. This up-to-date facility could not have been possible without the support from the parents and the Adult Education Department. Awards Night Towards the end of each year, we hold an awards night for students who have distinguished themselves academically, in sport and in various extra-curricular activities during the year. The Parents' Association provides a supper for the boys and their families after which we make the presentations. Not only is this a chance for us to show our appreciation of boys who have made extra effort during the year, but it is also a chance to meet their parents in an informal setting.
