Yeah, my school definitely allows for duces, however our subject awards are given prior to the release of study scores, and hence go to the highest internal mark.

Apparently Melbourne Grammar awards only one Dux based on aggregate

Yeah what's wrong with that school...so elitist.

I don't get this so if your number in your cohort and you get 1% on your exam and of your friends from the same cohort get a 100% you get his score?

not quite. its a rather complicated system with many variables. Sac moderation is certainly effected by rankings and exam performance, but if something as drastic as that happens, an enquiry would probs be made. check out the threads that explain this (as in sac moderation) better, since I'm not all that great at explaining such hardcore maths haha XD

I might have duxed Music Performance at my school, unless this other girl got higher than me but didn't have her name published. I wasn't expecting 35+, yet I got 41  :o my school hasn't touched the 40s for the subject in ages so... yay, breaking records ;D

Dux at my school got 99.6 :o 2nd and 3rd top atars were also 99+ wow.

HOLY FRICK. Wow. That's crazy. Private girls schools like PLC and MLC only have one 45 student.

Funnily enough I duxed English Language in 2013 and Chinese in 2012, my two worst subjects IMO.

Yeah It's quite unusual since last year (2012) the highest score was 43/45, yet in 2011 there were 3-4 45's. I think every two years the scores go down.
