"A prominent Sydney girls school sued over the expulsion of a student says allegations made against her in the media were false. Ravenswood School for Girls was taken to court by the girl&rsquo;s family after she was expelled for alleged bullying last year. In a letter sent to parents and staff today, Ravenswood council chair Mark Webb said the case had been settled out of court. &ldquo;The school acknowledges allegations reported in the media about (parent&rsquo;s) daughter ... are false and unfounded,&rdquo; the letter stated. It is understood the family&rsquo;s lawyers argued the penalty of expulsion was excessive. The family&rsquo;s case, however, was dismissed. The incident came to light after the girl&rsquo;s sister used a speech last year to criticise the school for its actions. Mr Webb said in the letter that &ldquo;the parties have agreed not to make any further comment&rdquo;. AAP "
