HISTORYThe original River Nile Learning Centre (RNLC) was established in 2006 to assist the African refugee community. That entity (ABN: 20 382 591 724) was approved to become a senior-secondary school in December 2016 and changed its name to the River Nile School (RNS). RNS had its first year operating as a registered, independent school in 2017. The new River Nile Learning Centre (ABN: 13 616 662 134) was established in January 2017 to provide education programs and services to young refugee and asylum seeker women, who's age, visa or personal circumstances prohibit them from being enrolled in the School. Separation of services was a requirement of the School's registration. 2017 was therefore a transitionary year in establishing two ‘sister' River Nile entities – RNS and RNLC.Founding members of the new RNLC were Lisa Wilson, John O'Shea, Rich Brown and Susan Pelka.
