River Nile Learning Centre

River Nile Learning Centre (RNLC) provides hope and educational opportunity to refugee and asylum seeker women to acquire the language, life and work skills to thrive in our community. We fill an education gap by teaching those newly arrived women who are not eligible to be enrolled in government schools, owing to their age or visa restrictions. Our primary goal is to equip our students with the language and life skills that will build their confidence, supporting them to continue their education, seek employment and have greater community involvement.

We offer free, pre-accredited foundation English, digital and numeracy classes. Our courses are flexible and tailored to develop the literacy, numeracy and digital skills of women with low levels of English. We pride ourselves on offering a welcoming and relaxed learning environment, together with holistic support. In pursuit of this, we have a dedicated social worker on staff to extend vital assistance and connect our students with the essential services beyond

Additional Offerings Include:
• Driving lessons for each student
