St Mary’s High School (SSC) in Mazgaon is just no stranger to controversy.

The school, which has been in the news for the wrong reasons several times in the past, is now at the receiving end of the bitter wrath of 17 sets of parents, whose children were denied admission into the secondary section (Std V) even though they are students of its sister branch, St Anne’s Parochial School, which has classes only till Std IV.
