Title: dux
Post by: boysenberry on November 02, 2009, 02:41:33 pm
How do you know if you got the highest ENTER in your school for your year level? Do you get presented with any awards?  ::) Or does this differ between schools?

It depends on each school really.
At our school, we welcome back the Dux to our annual Prize-Giving Assembly and honour them there; but each to their own I guess.

It differs between schools but usually you get invited back to the school for a whole school assembly where they present you with a certificate and/or plaque, give a speech to the entire school, shake a few hands.

Some schools invite back all the students who got the highest study score for each subject offered by the school and give them a medal and a certificate.

Aggregate score means including scaling though o.O I guess it's like an aggregate of the raw scores then.

Yeah last year they were different. One was humantites chick got a lot of subjects over 40 whilst the other was a maths person who benefited from scaling

Well the dux actually gets a plaque and a free laptop.  I didn't say the laptop before because not many schools give out laptops and I was trying to generalise as much as possible.

Our school invites anyone who got 95+ back, and we get to go on stage, shake a few hands and receive a plaque.

I think the dux for my high school is presented with some award on Speech Night the year after they graduate.

Other than that... no free laptops for me :(

Our presentation night is before the results are released which is lame.

  At my old school, they took into account SAC marks as well. So someone who got 99.90 shared the award with someone who got 98.90

So, every dux from each school gets a prize, right?

Depends on the school
   There are premiers awards for top in each subject [and all-round achievers] and something from the Federal Government for the top aggregates [not sure what %] based on raw scores. And scholarships, depending on unis.

The person who gets dux from my old school gets invited to next year's speech night and gets presented with a medallion and a certificate.
