A Sydney primary school teacher on suspension for appearing nude in a women's magazine would gladly strip and pose again, her husband says.
Lynne Tziolas, 24, is launching legal action to be reinstated to her position at Narraweena Public School, and her students' families are rallying in support by organising a petition.
The NSW Department of Education and Training says Ms Tziolas' suspension follows complaints from "several" parents at the school.
"Several Narraweena parents complained to the school about photographs and inappropriate sexual comments in a Cleo magazine article," a department spokesman said in a statement.
Ms Tziolas' husband Antonios, 45, disagrees.
"The photo shoot was perceived as a problem by some people in the community and the suspension came after one anonymous complaint by a concerned parent," Mr Tziolas, also a qualified teacher, told AAP today.
Ms Tziolas has been a full-time temporary Year One teacher for two years at the school, in Sydney's northern beaches district.
She was informed by letter last Friday that she was suspended for four weeks on full pay, effective immediately.
"The school ceased the teachers' engagement and the Department of Education and Training Employee Performance and Conduct Branch is investigating," the department spokesman said.
Mr Tziolas said his wife wanted to return to the same school.
"She would be happy to be reinstated back at Narraweena," he said.
The couple decided to be part of the naked photo shoot - which appeared in a sealed section of the magazine along with photographs of nine other couples and comments about their sex lives - after they were approached by a friend who was unable to take part.
"We got some beautiful loving shots that we wanted for a keepsake and we were paid to do it," Mr Tziolas said.
"We were honest. Yes, we're both teachers. Yes, we have sex, and yes, we are loving and committed to each other.
"What we did we both stand by. We would do it again."
Mr Tziolas said his wife's suspension was "outrageous" and he hoped the situation would soon be resolved.
"It is outrageous that the (education) department has had this knee-jerk reaction," he said.
