It has been busy times at Jerilderie Public School in this final term for the year.
Jerilderie Public School K/2 students enjoyed their excursion to the Flying Fruit Fly Circus on November 4, and in a very short time they developed gymnastic skills which they confidently show-cased.
The school’s Flying Start transition program continues to be fun and engaging for the keen new learners.
And the Billie G Cookie Dough fundraiser was a great success, with 400 containers purchased to support the small but mighty P & C.
