The session was part of the Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience, a program that engages with Rockhampton students to support them through high school.
Caitie said she was in tears when she met Sheeran and couldn't quite believe it.
"I gained a lot from the workshop," Caitie said.
"Ed shared a lot of his stories about how he got into the music industry and it's helped me decide if I want to get into the industry or not.
"Singing is what I want to do," she said.
For Riana, meeting her idol gave her a confidence boost and encouraged her to continue with her songwriting.
