When Fettesians leave Fettes they become Old Fettesians (OFs), joining our highly supportive community located across the globe. 

The Old Fettesian Association (OFA) maintains regular contact with OFs and facilitates a global events and activities programme. We have a wide range of activity from drinks in Hong Kong, to touch rugby in London, New York cocktails, year group reunions, the London carol service, business networking, the European culture weekend or the OF Golfing Society, plus e-newsletters and the annual publication of the Old Fettesian Newsletter. 

This activity is supported by the OFA committee and a group of regional representatives who volunteer their services and time and ensure that OFs everywhere feel welcome, wherever they may live or travel.

Old Fettesians are welcome to get in touch to update their details, arrange a visit to the school and find out more about upcoming events. Email ofa@fettes.com

Old Fettesians also have access to the Fettes Community Portal providing them with the ability to connect with OFs old and new, either by searching the Directory, or accessing the interest groups.  The portal also provides access to the Fettes Career Partnership programme so that OFs can seek or provide career support. In addition, all events are listed and OFs can access the Digital Archive of House and sports photos along with digitised copies of the Fettesian Magazine and the Old Fettesian Newsletter.  To register or access the portal click here.

"The Old Fettesian Association means a sense of belonging and community to me. It is important to develop, build and grow the OF community across the globe, maintaining and creating friendships and connections, both old and new. With all feeling welcome." 

Dr Vikki Halliday (née Cleghorn)(CE 1990-1991)President, Old Fettesian Association

The Old Fettesian Association fully supports the comments made by Lady Wise, the Chair of the Fettes Board of Governors, in her Open Letter to the Fettes Community. We too wish to recognise the remarkable bravery of those who gave evidence at the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry. The Association is deeply sympathetic to former pupils who suffered any adverse impact during their time at the school and exists to offer a supportive, friendly, network to all former pupils, regardless of their experiences. We acknowledge that, for some, reconnecting with painful memories may not be welcomed; we fully understand and support this sentiment. Our thoughts are with all those who find this emotionally impactful, and the OFA remains a safe, inclusive and welcoming place for them should they wish to reconnect with their peers in the future. Dr Vikki Halliday (née Cleghorn)(CE 1990-1991)
