Max Navarrete, Minka Waratah, Luella Boulton and Tayla Green Aldridge, along with teacher Bronwyn Morris, were also joined for lunch by Eden-Monaro MP Kristy McBain in the Parliament House dining rooms.
Ms McBain had arranged for the group to have a sit down chat with Mr Albanese, where the students spoke about politics, their schooling and their plans for when they graduate.
The students then watched Question Time and said they were "a bit shocked" when people got ejected.
Before they left, Ms McBain presented them each with a signed copy of the book "Upturn: A better normal after COVID-19" by Tanya Plibersek.
"It was a privilege to be able to meet and chat to the Bega High School leaders Max, Minka, Luella and Tayla in Canberra last week," Ms McBain said.
"What was most inspiring was to see their passion. These young leaders really are our country's future and their enthusiasm and interest in making a difference is exactly what you want to see in our next generation.
"Thanks to Max, Minka, Luella and Tayla for coming to visit Parliament House - it's always a nice change chatting to people from the Bega Valley while up in the 'Canberra bubble'."
