Perth Muslim students have claimed they were forced to leave a careers expo they were attending at the Perth Convention Centre after onlookers felt threatened by their hijabs just days after the Manchester suicide bombing attack.

Complaints from patrons stated the school children's attire was 'making them feel uncomfortable after what happened in Manchester' and staff were asked to make them leave.

The PDEC confirmed a complaint had been made over an alleged incident of discrimination on May 26 but did not accept their staff played a role in removing the students.

It comes after Salman Abedi took the lives of 22 people in a suicide bomb attack in Manchester who were attending an Ariana Grande concert.

The mother of one of the students, who asked not to be named, said her 16-year-old daughter was at the expo when she and her school friends were told by their teacher that they had to pack away their lunch and leave.

She told WAtoday that she wasn't angry but was just saddened by the incident.

'I feel particularly sad that my daughter went on an excursion and didn't enjoy it.

'I see this as an opportunity to raise awareness and get a deeper understanding of how young Muslims in Australia feel.

She wondered how what the girls were wearing impacts what happens other places.

If she was there, the woman said she wouldn't have gone off about it but challenged the complainants on what bothered them.

The incident occurred just days after the Manchester attack in which 22 people died

The educator said when her daughter was looking at some sewing machines with some friends a woman holding the stall told her 'in our country young people ask for help'.

Her daughter as was born at King Edward hospital in Perth so believes it showed the woman's ignorance by thinking she wasn't born in Australia.

She said she is not interested in making a complaint or following up the event with staff but thinks more education and dialogue is needed.

Islamophobia Register Australia President, Mariam Veiszadeh, said she was very disappointed by the incident.

'There has been very little research done into the impact of Islamophobia on young people and the inevitable impact it would have on their sense of identify and self-worth,' she said.
