This is what it is all about, with students taking initiative and jumping in to celebrate the NSW School Merino Wether Challenge and being part of such a great event.

Reece and Marli from Crookwell High School took the opportunity over the past few days to interview their fellow students on their experience at the event in Dubbo.

Check out the great work those two young students have created.

Thanks for sharing Reece and Marli - excellent job.
