DUX Ceremony

The annual Glen Innes High School Dux ceremony on the 10th February 2025 was a momentous occasion—a celebration of the incredible achievements of the 2024 HSC cohort.

Throughout their HSC these students demonstrated not only amazing academic ability but also an unwavering commitment to excellence in all aspects of their schooling. From the early mornings to late nights, they faced challenges head-on, always maintaining a focus on the goal ahead. This journey has not been an easy one, but it is that resilience, persistence, and passion that has enabled these students to achieve such amazing results.

Maisie Eastwood, the recipient of the Gold Medallion and Dux of Glen Innes High School 2024, truly epitomised these qualities. Achieving an impressive ATAR of 96.3, she is undoubtedly on a path to greatness.

The recognition of Alexandra Wright with the Silver Medallion and Charlotte McHarg with the Bronze is a testament to the incredible achievements of these students. Each of these students has paved the way for future generations of Glen Innes High School, and we are sure their journeys will inspire many.

The students addressed the Glen Innes High School student body reflecting on their journey, expressing deep gratitude for those who have supported them along the way. Family members were praised for their unwavering love and belief, which helped students through moments of self-doubt. Teachers were recognised for their guidance and patience. Peers were thanked for their camaraderie and support, as they shared the challenges and triumphs together. In their reflections, students also offered advice to those who will follow in their footsteps.

Several students achieved outstanding results in their HSC courses, earning Band 6 recognition for scoring 90 or above. Maisie Eastwood achieved Band 6 in Advanced Mathematics (2023), Business Studies, Personal Development/Health and Physical Education, and Advanced English. Alexandra Wright earned a Band 6 in Personal Development/Health and Physical Education, while RJ Taylor achieved a Band 6 in Standard Mathematics 2. These exceptional academic accomplishments highlight the dedication and hard work of these students throughout their HSC journey.
