because the dux is decided by the principal and has nothing to do with ur HSC exam performance, its the HIGHEST achiever in your school thats a dux, i would expect ur school would do the same.
Our dux is based on UAI. Our 1st aggregate is more similar to what your school describes as the dux.

How can you know the DUX with still 50% of the hsc to go?
Our dux is determined by estimate UAI aggregate. It seems we have a good cohort this year by our estimates, or alternatively, they're trying to give us high estimates to make us feel good.

i got a book voucher :p [not for dux of course]

DUX is the person with the highest UAI. Your way is a joke.

Mine was really good. A couple of boring speeches, but it was good.
We received a folder, which had our Year Book (i'm mentioned in there for being involved in a fight in Year 7 :eek:), our report (it has good comments from my teachers, but bad marks from my half yearlies), a couple of certificates and other bits of paper.

Afterwards, we went to the senior courtyard, and took hundreds of photos with our parents and friends, then we went to the local reserve/park and had a BBQ and stayed there for a couple of hours (i think). Then a couple of us went to someone's house and were playing Halo 3 (i lost; i had no idea what i was doing, lol).

After that, we went to our Graduation Party, which was just at someone's house, but nonetheless was good. Yay, alcohol. ;)

i know our way sux, i dont know exactly on how my school duz it they gave an estimate to a student at 95 gave him dux, and my estimate is 99 and i didnt get it, and i dont know 100% on how it seems to work this is my guess. and this is not my way its the schools way i dont really have any control over it.

btw our grad was best people from certain subjects got shields depending on whether they were sponsored or not, and we also got certificates as well as medals.

Oh, I forgot to write that we also got a whiskey glass with our school's logo on it.

It'll go nicely with the coaster with the school's logo on it, that we got at our Year 10 graduation.

yea it was, mainly because of my ranks in science, maths eng is okay, but our school is retarded they failed to mention me under "high academic achievers", and someone else who came first in both 3u and 4u maths with marks like 25% higher than the person ranked 2nd our school, they managed to mention someone who came first in visual arts though coincidentally. Its never been done before in my school (first in all three science) , my principal said id get like 90 but then i wen to my careers advisor and he said 99. it makes u feel like u didnt really do much:(

Tell me what u think xclusv2bhung my ranks and marks are posted here.

hey man.

yeah you shoulda gotten an award - your ranks are excellent , but 3u maths probably wont count .. seeing as at the moment it seems like your weakest one.

i`d say you`re definitely on the way to a 99.
90 ? hell no , much higher than that !
unless .. whats your school rank ?

oh , and call me Hung :p
