The event will allow her to debate the bills tendered in the NSW Parliament.
Department of Education executive director Lisa Alonso said the event would assist in important decision-making.
"By inviting our students to share their perspectives, experiences and solutions, they can actively influence our decision-making and help shape our system to be the best education in Australia," she said.
"This partnership in learning and action helps build a better education system."
Part of the week will also involve creative and cultural advocacy and leadership workshops with industry and education experts.
