Inverell High School captains Ruby Walker and Bailey Thomas, Macintyre High's Kelsie Julius and Rohan Cowley and Bundarra Central's Elizabeth Gleeson and Luke Berry took part in a secondary school student leadership program conducted by the NSW parliamentary education branch.

The group joined student leaders from all over country NSW to meet elected representatives and learn more about the Governor, as well as constitutional and parliamentary processes.

Mr Marshall said the group were "exceptional ambassadors for their schools" and communities.

"It was a pleasure to have them in Parliament and personally welcome and provide them with a tour of the building, including both chambers," he said.

The student leaders began the day listening to addresses from MPs before having the opportunity to quiz them on the life of a politician.

Later in the day, the youths were hosted by new NSW Governor Margaret Beazley at a reception at Government House.

"All the student leaders were able to learn more about the day-to-day operations of the Parliament, including the machinations of the 'Bear Pit', and were introduced to some of the constitutional foundations of our State," Mr Marshall said.

"School leadership is where many national, state and local government representatives are inspired to pursue their careers in community service.

"Being a school leader is an incredible privilege as they are elected by their entire student body and I hope some of students from yesterday continue with their leadership ambitions into the future.

Mr Marshall said it was wonderful to meet Ruby, Bailey, Kelsie, Rohan, Elizabeth and Luke.

"I hope they enjoyed their time visiting the 'people's parliament' and learned a lot," he said.
