A WA teacher has been counselled for posting naked photos of himself on a personal blog.
A parent raised the matter with a Perth school principal after the photos were believed to have been circulated among students via social media.
The principal notified the Education Department of the incident last week and has counselled the teacher about his actions.
The teacher is understood to be "extremely remorseful for his actions". He immediately shut down the site that contained the images.
Education Department director-general Sharyn O'Neill said she expected "better judgement" from teachers.
"I am surprised that teachers haven't yet got the message that their private and professional lives get connected directly through social media," she said.
"I expect better judgement from our teachers."
The Education Department has assessed the incident and is satisfied that no further action is warranted, based on the information that is currently available.
