The team won an Ampol Little Origin competition, which saw them represent NSW and take to the field at Sunshine Coast Stadium at half-time to play against their Queensland counterparts, Yeppoon State High School's under-14 girls team.
The college secured victory with a 12-0 scoreline.
The school's sports coordinator and the team's coach Matt Edwards said, before the event, that it was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
"It's a very rare experience, they're going to flash the girls' names up on the big screen as they run out so I'm sure we'll have plenty of parents snapping photos of the big screen as a memory for years to come," he said.
Competition entrants were asked to produce a one minute video about why they loved school football.
All 11 players - and one of their parents or carers each - flew to Queensland on Thursday for the all expenses paid trip.

From cattle to coal. Once a specialist agriculture writer today its about community, in particular, the Upper Hunter. I have lived and worked in the region for more than 30 years. Land use issues and the future direction of our region. But you cannot take ag out of the picture - our food and how we grow it is the basis of all life. Covering the Hunter and Mid North Coast rural issues is now part of my role with ACM.
