As the title says...school said attending is compulsory, but if they said if you had a good reason you didnt have to go, so what excuses would they accept?

Why is it compulsory in the first place? What is your real reason for not wanting to go? Sometimes honesty is the best approach for these things.

The year 12 formal is an experience, you should try to go unless you actually have a good reason. Go and have a bit of fun.

How can paying extra money be compulsory? Try to go if you can - it's a really enjoyable evening. I didn't go to my school formal, but that was optional and I was overseas... but everyone was talking about it for ages afterwards.

Private schools have a lot of leeway in what they can and can't do but getting into a dispute over whether they could force you to pay wouldn't be worth it.

You'll have a way better time than you think you will.

About Philosophy

When I see a youth thus engaged,—the study appears to me to be in character, and becoming a man of liberal education, and him who neglects philosophy I regard as an inferior man, who will never aspire to anything great or noble. But if I see him continuing the study in later life, and not leaving off, I should like to beat him - Callicle

Just pretend you have another committment on the night or something, like a forced family holiday.  Still, I'd recommend it - high school formals are awesome!
