Students at a selective school were left in tears after being singled out over their skin colour and religion on school photo day, furious parents claim. 

Two students on February 22 at Melbourne Girls' School were allegedly told they were 'too brown' to have their photo taken.

A girl who wears a hijab was allegedly ordered to remove her long sleeves while another student was told to tuck her cross necklace into her shirt.

A spokesperson for Victoria's Department of Education said the school 'categorically denies claims that students were racially vilified or excluded from having their photo taken because of their complexion or appearance'. 

'To suggest this was the case is totally untrue,' the spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia.
