History
Sister Campion first registered at the Glasgow School of Art in 1914, when her address was recorded as Notre Dame Training College, Dowanhill. She does not appear on the roll for the following year, but re-registered in 1916, 1917 and 1918 joining the metalwork course for each of the four years she spent at the School. For at least two of these years, she was taught by a Mr Davidson, presumabley Peter Wylie Davidson, Assistant Master of Decorative Art and Metalwork, member of staff from 1897 - 1934/5.
Notre Dame Training College opened in 1895, the first (female) Catholic Teacher Training College in Scotland and Dowanhill School two years later. The rapid expansion of the school meant that a new chapel and further buildings were soon required. It is possible that in addition to teaching duties, Sisiter Campion may have produced decorative items for the school. Another nun, Sister Callista (see separate entry) studied alongside her. Notre Dame School continues to teach girls of secondary school age in the West End of Glasgow. It is the only single sex comprehensive school in Scotland.
