There are some costs associated with going to school that you may find it helpful to plan and budget for.
Costs to consider include:
uniforms
school books and equipment
excursions
- 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.
Sir Joseph Banks High School school contribution
This is an amount set by the Finance Committee and various faculties to meet expenses in areas such as printing and stationery. It is also used to buy textbooks and other resources for student use.
Computer network fee
The computer network fee is used to maintain and expand the technology resources available for students. These include our computer labs, the Learning Hub and interactive whiteboards. Internet access is available for all students.
Course fees
Fees are required for courses where students need to use materials provided by the school.
Financial assistance
If you are unable to pay school contributions because of financial hardship, you may be eligible for assistance from the school.
Our principal will ensure no student or family suffers any discrimination or embarrassment over the inability to pay school contributions.
