More than 100 children took part and spent the day playing with science experiments, maths learning tasks and physical fitness games.
Students from Kindergarten to Year 6 participated.
Tarago Public School principal Michelle Jones said the day is a great way to educate the children in a different environment, while connecting with friends from other schools.
"The whole idea is that the students have the opportunity to connect and learn together," Ms Jones said.
"It's kind of a sharing day so kids from the smaller schools can gain an understanding on the environment of what a bigger school is."
Games included mini basketball and ring toss, encouraging the students to work together to achieve their goals, a collaborative approach was also taken with the tasks and experiments.
The idea to combine the schools was brought to Ms Jones' attention by vice principal Lisa Tinson.
"Lisa mentioned the idea to me a few months ago and we decided to go for it," Ms Jones said. "We come together for a lot of different reasons and this felt like another good reason to."
The schools are hoping to unite for the event again in years to come.
