Don't sack me, sack them: principal

The sacked principal of Melbourne's prestigious Methodist Ladies College, Rosa Storelli, says she is considering legal action.

Sacked Methodist Ladies' College principal Rosa Storelli has launched a stinging attack on the board of the elite Melbourne girl's school, accusing its chair of "gross mismanagement" and calling for its members to be fired in the wake of her treatment.

Ms Storelli, one of the country's most high-profile school leaders, claims she first alerted the board about her overpayments in January this year and now feels violated by her sudden sacking, which was akin to bullying.

The Age understands that MLC's board of directors believes Ms Storelli was overpaid by more than half a million dollars over her 15 years as principal.

The nine non-executive directors of the prestigious Kew school unanimously voted to terminate Ms Storelli's employment after the board said a Deloitte review revealed, among other matters, "significant overpayments of remuneration to Ms Storelli".

But Ms Storelli says she has never been shown the "fictitious Deloitte report" and has been denied a fair hearing.
