Nightcliff Middle School is a coeducational state school established in 1970 in northern Darwin suburb of Rapid Creek, Northern Territory, Australia, that was turned into an evacuation centre after Cyclone Katrina and was  reopened in 1975.
Following Cyclone Tracy, the new school, which had survived the devastation better than most buildings, was immediately pressed into service as an evacuation centre, then becoming a hostel for workers involved in the temporary repair of essential services.
