Principal Trudy Burke sent an email to parents confirming the finding and as a precaution would not be providing the students with supplied fruit.
WA Police are urging the public to be careful when eating fruit following last year's fruit contamination across Australia.
The first strawberry incident was reported in September and a further 230 cases were reported nationwide, impacting 68 strawberry brands.
Forty-nine brands were Queensland-based.
