Dux of your school (2 Viewers)

[pritnep]

Ha dux of the year, more like who goes to the best selective/private school.

98.45, I think. This year's dux will get near the 100 though, I'm pretty sure he will. [comment]Btw, it won't be me, that's for sure.[/comment]

sydney boys, the dux got 100. there's also a strange tradition for the dux to get 1/cosC on their yr12 jersey (ie 2secC).

No that's really really lame. And nerdy.

I liked 'genie-ass' better (Vinh).

100 previous decade or so. Ruse.

 

[xsjado]

2004 - 100
2005 - 100
2006 - 100

etc... every year theres at least one 100. Last year over 40 people (Around a quarter of the year) got over 99...pretty insane. Sydney Grammar btw.

40 people over 99!!!!!!
that's insane!!!

A fkn 1/4 of the grade......

Noob question: Is Sydney Grammar a selective or Private?

Stop talking about yourself dear.

But I'm not. Quote my post, then look harder.

Private.

Ok just a quick off topic question.. according to stats, do private schools do better than publics?
So like with school rankings and all. Considering that there are a lot more public schools than private schools.

^^wow... that's cool lol.. so you need to be rich and smart...

James Ruse did better according to the Daily telegrapghh...
wonder what percentage got over 99....

 

[kony]

i think in 2004 Ruse's median UAI was 99.55

i'd say private schools do better than non-selective public schools on a whole. but selective schools perform the best in general.

you can't have it both ways!

p.s. grammar schools are private.

I'd say don't worry about what you can't change (i.e. your school and it's preformance) and do the best that you can in the situation you are in. In short don't worry about others school just yourself because it won't help one bit.

 

[soopacow]

ours was 99.7 last year.... i think... and its a non selective public school...

No.

Every single year 6 coming in has to take an entrance exam thats open to the entire state, only those who are good enough make it in, and everyone is ranked by classes for year 7.

If you continually fuck up your exams you are "asked to leave".

There are some ways to get round this, i.e. parents working at the school, going to a prep school since kindergarten, music scholarships and so on...

But its definitely a selective school. And it is private (19K fees annually).

 

[watatank]

hmmm i'm not going to lie to you, i read it as both private and public, not private and selective

 

[goosiegoo]

I can't rememeber last years... but in.. 2004 i know it was somewhere around 99.7 or.. 99.8 ish. And thats for a non-selective private, rural school.

i think in 2004 Ruse's median UAI was 99.55

omg.... what would the median score for the state be??

80?

 

[watatank]

median for the state im pretty sure is around 66. or at least the average is.

 

[vulgarfraction]

omg.... what would the median score for the state be??

80?

Err... how about 50? By definition?

^^wow... that's cool lol.. so you need to be rich and smart...

It's called a scholarship. Except if you don't keep it up every year it's just taken off you. =D

i think in 2004 Ruse's median UAI was 99.55

Someone's a bit outdated. (50% score above median, and it was like 99.3-ish last year.)
