The new centre is the third school in the Langports brand, joining its Brisbane and Gold Coast campuses.

CEO of Langports John France told The PIE News: “Langports Sydney is part of my long-term dream for The Langports Foundation, to increase the funding and help more children, and I’m delighted to have Miles Mackenzie as the Principal. I’d like to share my happiness with everyone.”

Langports Sydney will open in early September in Darling Harbour in the heart of the city and will initially have capacity for 160 students in 14 classrooms. After opening the school will add a further nine classrooms, allowing it to cater for 320 students.

Founded in 2007, The Langports Foundation supports children through education, including through charities Yalari, providing indigenous children in Australia with educational scholarships, and Blue Dragon, which helps children in crisis in Vietnam.

The Langports Foundation receives its funding from various companies in the Langports Group, as well as its staff, students and associates.

Newly appointed principal of Langports Sydney Miles Mackenzie said: “For me this is the perfect place to be to realise my professional and personal goals, in a top quality school with top quality colleagues, great students and partners from all round the world and to join a school that is not only leading the way, but is also helping others.”
