"I regret to inform you" a letter opened by her mother read,"that Katy has not received an offer of a place in a post-primary school for the forthcoming academic year."

She is the only child in her class who did not receive any offer. It is also next door to where the Bons Secours is building its new facility. That’s where Katy’s mother will work in coming years when her employer moves in.
