Our new language assistant's name is Isaac Partridge and he will be working with us every two weeks this year. Read about him and don't forget: let's show him our hospitality and let's make him feel welcome at our school, IES Doñana.
My name is Isaac
Partridge and I will be your school’s English Language Assistant for this
upcoming school year. I am from New Zealand, a small island nation in the South
Pacific with a population of only 4.4 million people. I am a university
graduate, having graduated from the University of Auckland with a Bachelor of
Science in Psychology. My current level of Spanish is beginner however I hope
to improve during my time at your school. I come from a family of four, my
father and brother were born in New Zealand like me, while my mother was born
in Wales.
My interests
include sports, travel, history, languages and meeting and getting to know new
people from different cultures. I have always been interested in sports, having
played football and cricket from the age of 5 and last year I began learning
boxing. Through playing sport I have also got the chance to travel,
representing my school when our cricket team toured Australia. Other countries
I have travelled to include the United States of America, the United Kingdom
and more recently, Peru, Colombia, Brazil and Argentina, when my partner and I
toured South America.
I am really
looking forward to meeting you all in October and becoming a member of your school
and community. If you see me around and would like to ask any questions, please
don’t hesitate to ask, I am more than happy to help and talk with any of you.
