A FEMALE teacher at an all-boys Catholic school in Sydney has resigned over reported inappropriate relationships with students.

The St Aloysius' College teacher, who taught Drama and English and is aged in her late 20s, had sex last year with at least two Year 12 students who were over 16 years old.

The teacher's behaviour was exposed when a parent found out about a relationship with her son, Fairfax Media reports.

The school sent a note home to parents this week, alerting them about the incident.

Other teachers at the school were shocked to learn of the allegations, news.com.au has learnt.

Father Peter Hosking SJ, the Rector of the Milsons Point school, confirmed the reports in a statement to news.com.au.

"At the end of last year, a teacher resigned from the College following allegations of inappropriate contact between the teacher and students," the statement reads. "As soon as knowledge of the allegations was acquired, due process immediately was undertaken.

"Subsequently, reports were made to appropriate authorities and agencies in NSW including the NSW Police, the NSW Ombudsman and the Office of the Children's Guardian.

The students involved are now graduates of the school, the statement said.

Father Hosking said the pastoral care of the students concerned and a respect of those involved is of primary concern.

"The College is steadfast in its commitment to the care, safety and wellbeing of all our students."
