Patrick Diepenbroek


Mr Diepenbroek teaches Physics at IST. He finished Electrical Engineering and his MSc in teaching Physics at the University of Twente and worked in Indonesia for nine years at an international school near the capital.

Mr Diepenbroek has a strong passion for his profession and believes one has never finished learning. He likes to show his students the wonders that nature has to offer and – through a ‘hands-on’ and ‘minds-on’ manner – scrutinise a myriad of these wonders.

In his spare time, he does his utmost to enjoy the wonders of nature himself, while hanging off rock walls (bouldering), or exploring the sea (scuba diving). He also spends his time on the mat doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
