When asked, what are you looking forward to most with joining Dove Green? Mrs. Hunt replies: I can’t wait to meet and work with all of the wonderful students! Education is the single most important thing you can ever receive in life- and to be a part of that with each and every student at Dove Green is truly exciting.
Did you know? Mrs. Hunt used to play Netball for the England Academy in her younger years. She stopped playing competitively when she was studying to become a teacher so that she could focus on inspiring and helping the next generation fulfil their own dreams. She can often be found at the school Netball courts cheering the school teams on though!
