our dux = highest uai

the same for most schools,
but of course, the dux gets 'predicted' in advance, for example the kid who comes 1st in the most subjects, has the best aggregate, etc.

Mm. Our dux was chosen after HSC and UAIs came out. She was some uber nerd with 99.90 UAI and is now studying Med @ UNSW. She took home all her awards in a garbage bag o_O

Haha! I was too busy trying to sabotage her .. so she would stack it on stage or something.

The state has the Premier's Award for Academic Excellence, which is getting Band 6's in 10 units or more :D

I got 'equal' Dux last year, almost defeating the purpose of it's existence. It's quite likely that I'll be lucky enough to recieve it this year (We get it awarded at graduation), but I don't want to get complacent.
