Meet Amy Johnson
If you look up the meaning of the name Amy, you will see
that it originates from the Latin amatus meaning ‘loved’.
This is certainly an apt description of Amy Johnson, the
Personal Assistant to the Head of the Preparatory School.
Amy Johnson joined the Guildford
Grammar School community in November
2014, coming to us with a strong
background in administration in the
insurance, finance and education sectors.
In her current role, Amy provides high level
administrative support to Mr Krause and
forms an integral part of the Preparatory
School Administration team.
Amy was born in New Zealand and moved
to Perth with her family when she was seven
years old. The family originally intended to
live in Queensland, but they soon changed
their mind once they experienced the
great lifestyle in Perth. The family settled
in Beechboro, with Amy and her sister
attending school in the area.
Amy has been married to Leigh for 12 years
and has two beautiful children, Samson (9)
and Micah (10). Amy and Leigh met through
their shared interest in motorbikes, meeting
on a club outing. In those days Amy owned
a Kawasaki Eliminator, which she has since
traded for a more family-friendly fourwheeled vehicle!
Family is by far the most important part of
Amy’s life. Extremely close to her sister and
parents, Amy, her husband and two children
share a rural property with her parents, her
sister and her sister’s children. As a very
sociable and gregarious person, Amy enjoys
the quality time she can spend at home with
those closest to her heart. A self-proclaimed
‘foodie’, Amy organises regular family
dinners, campfires and BBQs, where a cheese
platter and block of chocolate is never far
from sight!
Amy is an active member of the Grace
Life church, where she is involved with the
women’s ministries as an event leader. She
has recently been involved in coordinating
movie nights and swap meets to raise money
for community causes, whilst bringing
together groups of like-minded women in a
friendly, social setting.
Amy’s other great passion is her beloved
Labradoodles. Her interest in the breed came
about as a result of her son suffering from
asthma and discovering that the Labradoodle
does not shed hair
