Pause the scene, and you can read the letter.
Fiamma has a lover from lower social class, many story use this classic pattern.
Titanic for example, a countess with a peasant, their love bring big trouble.
Well okay, true love has no problem with gender, but love with same gender definitely is homosexual, this is only a term, not to mention lesbian is wrong, it make the movie looks brilliant.
About the scene after the feast, no, Miss G. definitely take advantage of Fiamma unconsciousness to take her, look at her face expression, then why should Di curious by following them downstairs?
If Miss G. only want Fiamma to fairly kind to her, then why should she must use the others girls to get closer to Fiamma? There is 2 scene, Miss G. took girls to night swimming that actually she only want to see Fiamma naked (it's true :O ) then she took girls again to day swimming when they making flower banquet, unfortunately Fiamma refuse. Miss G. is aggressive and possessive person, that's the interesting point of her.
Mention that the girls always joke about gardener boy when they talk about lust? And Lilly talk to Fiamma about gossip that Miss G. close to one of the father? So the school full of girls not the main factor that cause lesbian, it came from themselves, from Miss G., Di is her victim, and she try do get Fiamma as well.

Yea I agree Di is the victim in this, Miss G. used her to manipulate her influence onto the other girls. I think Di definately had some kind of undertone of romantic feelings for Miss G. (Always stealing glances at her, protecting her in confession, and helping her find Fiamma when nobody else would) certainly at least admired her as a woman; possibly just wanting to emulate her as a woman.
One think worth noting in the office when the Head mistress said something along the lines of "She should know all too well that all girls should be treated equal reguardless of their past ..that the school has a history of protecting girls from themselves" I think the story was possibly hinting that she did something herself that caused her to be sent away.
A theory I was thinking about the post-cards is that possibly Miss G. desired to be Fiamma, because she was the exotic one who traveled and had all the girls admiration. When Fiamma got the package and mesmirised even Di, telling the story and lighting the paper into the air, Miss G. felt threatened, because she had become the most popular girl at the school, after never leaving herself. When she was looking at the cards eating the cookie she was imagining what it was like to be Fiamma, Which would explain her curriousity to see her file and the excitement she expressed when inquiring about Fiamma's scandal, wanting to know more about it. Miss G. had all the girls fooled except for Fiamma who challenged her repeatedly(asking her about paris, saying she wanted to compete with other schools, finishing her stories) I think Miss G. wasn't nessicarily a homosexual, but more obsessed with Fiamma, and socially and mentally undeveloped into coping with the situation that had unraveled upon her. Having to try and stay a idol to the girls, someone who was mature and well traveled, adventerous and daring. then Fiamma comes in, who is everything that she imagined herself to be. I think the scene where she took advantage of her was just her last-ditch effort to have Fiamma like her, as she didn't know any other way

Do you even speak English? You make almost no sense.
Ms. G was a crazy, pathetic, lonely woman.
En tu idioma, quiza... Era una mujer loca, patetica y llena de soledad.

Miss G sufre de fobia social y con la llegada de Fiamma la Señorita G cae obsesionada por ella ya que Fiamma representa todo lo que Miss G quiere ser y debido a sus miedos no puede y tiene que inventarse una vida de cara a la niñas... además con el rechazo de la niña nueva ella se transtorna de la cabeza y termina dejandola morir... como bien dices era una loca, patética y llena de soledad...
