The students and a volunteer from the Don Bosco school, who were in the territory for the Flag Day celebration in April, are each charged with rape, sexual assault, sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child.
The High Court has been told all three have rejected offers of plea agreements from the government and have opted to face jury trials.
Bail for the three is set at $US100,000 dollars each.
