The scandal involves students at Presbyterian Ladies' College and Hale School.
Both schools have been forced into damage control after the explicit video, featuring three PLC students, was found.
The video, believed to have been taped at a party a fortnight ago, shows three Year 8 PLC boarding school students performing an explicit sexual act.
No boys were in the video but a separate photo shows one of the girls engaging in an explicit act with a Hale School student.
The photo may have been taken at the same party.
The West Australian understands that about a week after the private party, the girls involved edited the video and tried to sell it to a group of Hale School boys for $90. It is understood that the boys did not pay the money but watched the video.
Neither school would say yesterday whether any copies of the video were still in existence or who had them.
PLC principal Beth Blackwood said it was inappropriate for the school to make any comment in relation to the alleged activity of minors.
The school had checked its security records and denied any school equipment or processing facilities had been used in connection with any sexually-explicit activity.
She would not comment on whether disciplinary action had been taken or whether police had been notified.
Hale School principal Stuart Meade said issues in relation to the matter that pertained to Hale School had been investigated and dealt with appropriately.
The West Australian understands that police have not been notified of the incident by any parties and that no complaint has been made.
