The Eagles are visiting a number of schools in the western region as part of the NRL's annual Community Carnival, promoting the game and also wellbeing in the lead up to the 2016 season.

Visiting the western region this week are Manly NRL squad members Josh Starling, Darcy Lussick and Hugh Pratt while NYC players Billy Bainbridge, Harry O'Toole and Brad Parker will also be in attendance.

A junior league clinic was held on Monday evening at Caltex Park while Tuesday sees players visit seven Dubbo schools.

Dubbo Junior Rugby League president Neil Millgate will be visiting the schools along with the Manly players and he said visits like this promoting positive messages are the right kind of stories relating to the game.

"They need to do it a bit at the moment after the headlines they've had lately and they need to keep doing this kind of thing and keep pushing it because they are idols for these kids," he said.

"It's a fair day because they're going to all the schools and little things like this put it on the radar and it's good to see them doing the right thing."

The visit is a great opportunity for youngsters to get up close and personal with players who will be determined to make an impact in the NRL this season.

Lussick is returning to the Eagles after a spell with the Parramatta Eels and has plenty to prove while Starling will be keen to make the leap from fringe first grader to regular starter in 2016.

Pratt is an exciting young player who will be one to watch this season after starring in the under-20s competition last year.

The Manly players will also be visiting schools in Nyngan, Cobar, Trangie, Narromine, Gulargambone, Gilgandra, Tottenham, Tullamore, Trundle, Condobolin, Cudal, Eugowra and Yeoval as part of the carnival.

As well as passing on valuable rugby league skills, the players will also assist in delivering the NRL Wellbeing and Dream Believe Achieve programs.

The NRL Wellbeing program helps young children, not just rugby league players, value health as well as mental and physical wellbeing.

The Dream, Believe, Achieve is aimed at older children and teenagers and focuses on the link of having hope and aspirations for the future and maintaining a positive wellbeing.

Both programs are endorsed by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), which is responsible for the national curriculum, assessment and reporting of students from Kindergarten to year 12.

All 16 NRL Clubs and NRL ambassadors will be part of the Community Carnival, which covers Australia and New Zealand.
