Students returning to school at Jerilderie Public hit the ground running, or in this case swimming, with the 2023 Combined Small Schools Swimming Carnival held in Jerilderie on February 2.
It was a fairly ordinary day weather-wise, but one which was enjoyed by all who attended.
Thanks have been extended to JPS staff and helpers from Finley High School who provided support with timekeeping, one-to-one support in the pool, and packing up at the end of the day.
And of course to all the students who attended and participated in the events.
