More than 20 Gold Coast students have been suspended for sending and receiving naked images of fellow pupils.
Palm Beach Currumbin High School principal Stephen Loggie says he suspended 22 students last week for sharing inappropriate images.
"(The school) is working with the parents of these students to ensure their young people make better decisions in the future," Mr Loggie has told The Gold Coast Bulletin.
The Year 9 girls and boys will have to undertake a cyber safety course when they return to school from their suspensions, which range from three to 20 days.
The father of one suspended student, who didn't want to be named, told the paper his son had only received the images, and had not passed them on.

But the man said he'd had a very stern conversation with his son about the dangers of such activity.
"It's mortifying to think this is going on and innocent kids are getting caught in the crossfire," he said.
"This is going on right under our noses and there's probably a lot more to it than we know about. These pictures will very easily go up online of naked 14-year-old girls - our daughters. It's just disgraceful."
