The 18-man team will be touring Papua New Guinea over the coming week and will represent NSW in two games of rugby league.
The tour is not all about rugby though with several cultural events and community visits scheduled along with attending official functions.
According to Red Bend Catholic College, this tour will be an amazing experience for the team, especially for their students.
As part of their training, they will be attending a training session with the Australian team.
The team will be playing two official matches while they are over in Papua New Guinea with the first being against the Aroma Coast Under 16s.
The second match is against the PNG Under 16s in the curtain raiser for the Prime Minister's XIII vs PNG.
At the end of the tour several of the team will be staying in PNG to walk part of the Kokoda Track.
