Sister Francis Henry
Obituary of Sister Francis Henry, former Principal of Notre Dame College of Education; born December 1, 1913; died July 5, 2008.Sister Francis Henry, who has died aged 94 after suffering a stroke, was principal of Notre Dame College of Education in Glasgow between 1965 and 1978.
From being a small single-sex residential Catholic college, Notre Dame had to expand its accommodation and be open to include male students and mature students of both sexes from the Special Recruitment Scheme. The college, which had, since 1895, been based in Dowanhill in the west end of the city, was relocated to a new building in Bearsden but for many years operated on both sites, which caused problems for management, staff and students.
Sister Francis steered the college throughout this time, trying to maintain its spirit as a community with a focus on the welfare of the students.
