History

Sister Alice Rutter was born in 1877 and attended The Glasgow School of Art for the academic year 1917 to 1918. Sr. Rutter would have been a member of The Sisters of Notre Dame, an order of Catholic nuns who originally settled in Glasgow in 1894 with the purpose of setting up a teacher training college. As such, Sr. Rutter resided at Notre Dame Convent in Dowanhill, which was home to the order of Sisters, as well as boarders, day boarders and evening students. The sisters founded the Notre Dame School in 1897 with 24 students and 2 teachers. By 1912, close to when Sr. Rutter would have been teaching, the number of students had risen to 193.

The Notre Dame Teacher Training College continued to operate successfully throughout the 20th century, providing training for Catholic teachers for the West of Scotland and further afield. Sr. Rutter attended The Glasgow School of Art for one morning per week, as part of her professional development as a teacher. The School provided training in arts and crafts for practising teachers, including in the areas of painting, drawing, modelling, needlecraft and embroidery, metalwork and pottery. Sr. Rutter was under the tutelage of Miss Jessie R. Allan, who instructed in Watercolours. Sr. Rutter's tuition was subsidised by the City Local Authority.

The Sisters had mostly moved from the Dowanhill location by the 1960's, with the training college relocating to Bearsden.
