There are some costs associated with going to school that you may find it helpful to plan and budget for.

- co-curricular activities.
Voluntary school contributions
Like all NSW public schools, we can request contributions to enhance our educational and sporting programs including elective subjects. School contributions help provide additional educational resources for the benefit of students. Payment is voluntary.
For more information, visit the Voluntary School Contribution policy.
- The voluntary school contribution is a contribution which helps provide attractive school reports, certificates acknowledging student achievement, paper for duplicated lesson materials, sporting equipment, welfare booklets and the school magazine. In 2021 the General Student Contribution is $50 for Years 7-8, $60 for Years 9-10 and $70 for Years 11-12.
- We need parental support to provide students and families with the high standard of education to which they have become accustomed and which is expected at James Fallon High School.
Subject Fees
All families are strongly encouraged to pay their school fees as soon as possible. Fees vary according to what year a student is in and their choice of elective subjects.
- Subject Fees cover the materials used in elective subjects. These materials are used to produce products which are either consumed or retained by students.
- Students are strongly advised to consider these costs when making their elective subject choices.
- Refer below for fee details.
- Credit Card and EFTPOS facilities are available for the payment of fees and purchase of uniform items.
- Where there are financial difficulties, parents are encouraged to see the School Principal to make suitable arrangements.
