Police alleged the boy, who is a student at the Halls Creek District High School, armed himself with the weapons and was walking around the school on Monday.
The school went into lockdown and nobody was injured.
Police said when officers arrived, the boy disarmed himself. He was arrested and charged with aggravated burglary, stealing, being armed in a way that may cause fear and threatening to kill.
The boy will appear in Halls Creek Children's Court in June.
