Students who assault other children or film fights could soon face an automatic suspension.
An action plan will be released later this year and trialed in 2019 to help reduce violence against students and staff.
Under the proposed changes, a 'good standing’ policy in all public schools will be considered along with the automatic suspension.
A student who assaults or instigates a fight with another student would lose their good standing within the school and would not be able to participate in school social activities, such as the school ball or interschool sports competitions.
They would be able to earn those privileges back by demonstrating positive behaviour.
Education and Training Minister Sue Ellery said the level of violence in WA schools is unacceptable.
“I am shocked and appalled by some of the violence we have seen in our schools this year and something has to change – we need to get tougher," she said.
“The majority of students do the right thing and come to school ready to learn and contribute, but we do not want to continue hearing stories about students or staff being attacked in places that are designed for learning."
The move comes after an influx of violent incidents being filmed at WA public schools.
