This year's carnival was organised by Canobolas Public School and involved 11 small schools from the Orange and Canobolas region.
Canobolas Public School relieving principal Megan Manson said Nashdale Public School won the carnival and Spring Hill Public School won the percentage trophy, which is the winning school taking into account the number of students.
"It was very successful, there were all the Orange small schools, 11 schools participated," Mrs Manson said.
"There were records broken, six records were broken, which is pretty amazing really.
"There will be a good lot of people going off to the district carnival."
Participating schools included Borenore Public School, Canobolas Public School, Cargo Public School, Clergate Public School, Cudal Public School, Cumnock Public School, Manildra Public School, Mullion Creek Public School, Nashdale Public School, Spring Hill Public School and Spring Terrace Public School.
