Speech Night Prizes

[TrueTears]

Heh I remember getting full colours in year 7 lulz

[moshi]

Hahaha, I just missed out on Dux of Year 11 and I presume I wasn't far off English Language. I got General Excellence (awarded to the top 10 students out of 240, which is bearable at our school), the prize for the highest promise in science in year 11 and the Physics award. If only I hadn't taken French... it brings down my grade average

It takes an amazing effort to get just one, let alone 3! You'll probably get valedictorian next year if you keep this up (:

i got english and biology. missed out on legal

Wouldn't you have received it last year, not this year? o_o For legal, I mean.

My school does things differently. They give out awards for each subjects on the day results are released therefore the person with the highest study score gets the subject prize and dux goes to whoever has the highest ENTER.

Our school has nothing to do with colours or valedictorian. No awards are given out based on just SAC marks. However certain school service awards are given out on the same night as subject prizes

My school has no specific subject prizes, only prize related to schoolwork is the 'academic award'. There aren't any prizes at all for year twelves.

I don't think I'll get dux next year... you have to get an amazing ENTER score at our school to get that title!

[appianway]

Are you serious? How's valedictorian decided? Because if it's purely SACs from subjects taken in year 12, French is (once again), going to drag me down

Easy solution: Drop French.

I dropped Science after year 10, and lo I got to write "A/A+ scores on report: 100%" for the first time ever. 

[appianway]

I still get above an A average in French, it's just that more of my scores in the subject are As than A+. Maybe I'm just an obsessive perfectionist, but it's a little annoying when you're getting straight A+ in everything else, and you just nod and smile in French.

I won't drop it though - there's the whole "cultural heritage" thing (even though I'm only like 3/16 French), and there's the fact that if I want to work at CERN, I'd like to venture into France every now and then. I'm also doing an exchange in 3 weeks (for 5 weeks), so hopefully my abilities will dramatically improve. I guess I don't like French as much as my other subjects because it doesn't reply on a conceptual understanding - it's more about how you memorise the irregular verbs or grammatical items, and I'm not one for rote learning. I'd also feel guilty if I dropped it, seeing as I used to do well (I loved my French teacher in year 9 ), but that's all changed since year 10.

who cares about 1 or 2 awards i'd rather learn a language than win a simple award any day
