The school fully suscribes to the policy of community and comprehensive
schooling - the provision of free second level education for all children
irrespective of ability. In keeping with this policy, approximately 10%
of the student population is physically handicapped, mainly visually impaired.
To facilitate the visually impaired there are four resource teachers responsible
for tutorials, textbooks and Braille. A mobility teacher helps them acquire
the necessary skills for eventual independent travel. As a community school,
pupils of all denominations are welcome and a respect for diversity of
beliefs is encouraged.
This home page is designed to give you an overall impression of the quality
of education we offer at Pobalscoil Rosmini. Some of the school's particular
strengths include:
- A wide range of subjects in the curriculum - including modern languages, sciences and practical subjects such as Art, Woodwork and Metalwork.
- Small class size - any class will have a maximum of thirty students and in practical classes, this is limited to twenty four.
- Integration of the visually impaired - we have found that this system encourages greater sensitivity and balance in all our students
- An active Parents' Association whose ongoing fund-raising has provided us with extra facilities and has helped us to finance the extra-curricular activities in the school.
