I wouldn't like the idea of dux being based on UAI though, because that would unfairly rule out students who opted not to get one.

Most schools have their top students getting a UAI. It's very rare that a non-top student completely blitzes the HSC exams and fights against their ranks to get dux. I'm sure schools in which top students aren't getting a UAI would make adjustments so that they can be ranked alongside their UAI competitors. But if they're only doing 8 units, or aren't elligible for one, they don't really deserve dux.

Dux doesnt depend on how u'd go in uni!.....uni is not school...its much different..if u dont know...so i hope people mustnt keep their hopes too high!

and hey guess what there is *alot* of group work in uni...

ive had ppl tell me like in commerce even the people with a uai of 99 failed subjects....so yeah there you go!

 

[= Jennifer =]

our school bases dux on uai the dux of our school for 2003 had uai 99.95

 

[GemmaHavok]

It's not so much embarrasing getting up there, as it is freaking scary, considering there are 1700 people sitting in front of you.

sbhs, even though its a gps school, does not have a hall on par with iggies. and its speech night, so only parents and recipients attend, not the whole school, which is only about 1100
