Coaching
Each student has her own coach and is encouraged and enabled to take ownership of their learning and to set goals for optimum outcomes.
Because of Coaching our students leave Rosemont with an Education for Life with the following strengths:
Mental strength by fostering a growth mind-set and a capacity for independent thought
Emotional strength by choosing well and embedding in her life the virtues and character to truly flourish in life
Spiritual strength by developing a moral code and acquired a knowledge of her faith in an atmosphere of personal freedom and responsibility
Physical strength by engaging with her personal growth and skill on the sports field and embracing sport and healthy living for life
Inter-personal strength by developing her ability to form deep and lasting friendships while attentive to the needs of those who need more support
Testimonials from our Students, Past pupils and Parents
Past Pupils
I always remember coaching in Rosemont. In my working life I realise how wise my coach was. She helped me navigate key decisions – never making them for me! She knew me very well and cared. I felt I could talk about anything in coaching. But I always felt empowered – in the driving seat. But it was not just about academics. I could not be selfish in my academic goals or unthoughtful towards others. I am who I am because of my parents but also because of Rosemont. For that I will always be grateful!
Coaching is just one of the main things that differentiates Rosemont from other schools. School and exams like the Leaving Cert can make life that bit more stressful at times and knowing that I have a safe space and someone in the school environment to lean on has been really comforting and helpful.
Coaching has helped me through my time in Rosemont as a unique way to look at enjoying my school experience to the fullest and as a way at preparing me for life after Rosemont. Coaching has been a guide through career choices, unique learning opportunities and a guide through friendships and dealing with challenges.
Parent
Our daughter completed her Leaving Cert in June and we all said a fond farewell to her coach from her senior cycle years. Fifth and sixth year are tough years and I know Maria always felt her coach was ‘someone in her corner’. We are very grateful for all the support she gave Maria. Beyond study tips, it’s the encouragement and confidence boosting that really helps. And sometimes hearing it from someone outside the family makes a real difference. Personally, I always came away from conversations with Maria’s coach with some new perspective on our daughter’s educational and personal development. We are very grateful to Rosemont for this unique resource.
Rosemont Coach
Coaching in Rosemont offers numerous positive experiences by helping our students to build confidence, resilience and a clearer sense of direction. I feel it creates a safe space for students to set personal goals, express themselves and develop essential life skills. As a teacher it also allows me to develop relationships with students I don’t teach so for me it’s an opportunity to get to know a wider cohort of students. Through regular coaching, students often experience improved motivation, academic performance and self awareness which can often be a challenge during these formative years.
