What does that mean?

Wiki says this:

In schools in Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Iceland, Dux is a modern title given to the top student in academic and sporting achievement (Dux Litterarum and Dux Ludorum respectively) in each graduating year. In this usage, Dux is similar to the American concept of a valedictorian. The runner-up may be given the title Proxime Accessit (meaning "he came next") or Semidux, but is often not regarded as highly as his superior.

It was moored illegally, Alf never had a contract, got the place on a handshake, Harvey found out and made a complaint

Home and Away star Lisa Gormley has hinted that her character Bianca Scott could fall for Heath Braxton after seeing his nicer side.

Bianca grows closer to Heath on Australian screens later this month when he warns that her younger sister April (Rhiannon Fish) has been self-medicating in a bid to deal with exam pressure.

Although the blonde's ex-boyfriend Liam Murphy (Axle Whitehead) wrongly suspects that Heath has been supplying April with the drugs, Bianca sees that the Summer Bay bad boy has done the right thing and gives him a 'thank you' kiss.

Gormley told TV Week of Heath's revelation: "Initially [Bianca] doesn't believe it, because April isn't that kind of girl. But then she realises that she's missed something big and her sister's in trouble."

"Bianca is so proud she's started seeing this good side of Heath and is disappointed that Liam's still judging him on face value, like she did initially," she continued. "She defends him because he did good.

"She's feeling that Heath's pretty hard done by, and in his world, the only way to show appreciation is to maybe give him a kiss. It's a thank you and, 'I have noticed you and I'm appreciating you'."

Gormley added that she is enjoying working closely with Dan Ewing, who plays Heath, on the storyline.

"Getting to work with Dan is fantastic," she said.

Home and Away airs these scenes next week on Network Seven in Australia and in the winter on Channel 5 in the UK.
