The likes of Lote Tuqiri, Radike Samo and Mat Rogers will all be visiting the region to spend some time with the community and play a match against the Central North Barbarians.
Before the big game on Saturday, the team will visit both schools on Friday, March 22 to run the students through some rugby drills and answer any questions the children might have.
"It's about engaging in as many communities in Australia as we can," Classic Wallabies general manager Justin Harrison said.
"Use it as a vehicle to reconnect with past national players and get them involved and get them to areas that don't get the main flow of professional rugby.
"And we use events like Moree to engage kids, conduct coaching clinics and get that energy around rugby union as active as can be."

"It's a program that has real and meaningful action and engaging in the community.
"We're generating that ground up support that we all know that rugby has got.
"Rugby has always been a sport that has had great access ability from the ground up."
The Wallabies will be at Moree Public School from 11.30am on Friday before heading to St Philomena's at 1.30pm, with all the action on game day on Saturday, March 23 to kick off at 12pm.
"We're looking forward to getting in and amongst some of the most passionate areas of Australian rugby in the country," Harrison said.
