Lynne Tziolas, 24, a Sydney primary school teacher sacked for appearing nude in a women's magazine, remains defiant.
She is launching legal action to be reinstated to her position at Narraweena Public School.
Her husband says she would gladly strip and pose again and her students' families are rallying in support by organising a petition, reports Sydney Morning Herald.
Tziolas was called into her principal's office on Friday and told her year-long contract at Narraweena Primary School would be terminated.
"The first thing I knew was on Friday morning when a parent complained, and come Friday afternoon I was told not come back to the school" she said.
During an afternoon meeting with principal Julie Organ and local schools director Maurice Brennan, Tziolas was handed over a letter from the school authorities.
"I refer to an article in the magazine Cleo in which your photograph appears acompanied by an article about your personal life," the letter reads.
"Concerns have been raised by community members in relation to this article. I have concerns that this will seriously impact on your continued employment at Narraweena Public School," it read, before telling her she would be sacked.
"I was told ... that my actions had breached the code of conduct," said Tziolas, whose husband Antonios also appeared in the article.
