The Association today has a register of more than 800 members.

A vital stakeholder of the Schools, it is managed by an elected Executive Committee of 14, of whom 2 are formal representatives at the 2 Schools' Board of Management.

The Schools' Principals in office are constitutionally appointed ex officio members of the Association's Executive Committee, attending all its meetings to advise on alumni involvement and support for school-based activities. Through this organisation structure, Association and Schools work closely in tandem. Association and Schools jointly produce a half-yearly publication “In Tandem” distributed to parents, members, and teachers.

The Association's close ties with the Schools are best represented in its hosting of the Founder's Day Dinner, an annual tradition throughout the living memory of alumni. School-leavers are introduced to the network of membership, and a systematic membership fee structure at a reasonable rate is available for non-working adults. The Executive Committee constantly reviews membership privileges which include website log-on access, participation in special functions and alumni-staff networking.

With half a century of history behind it, highly organised communication links, and the fire of passionate hearts, the Association is poised to achieve greater heights in its tradition of involvement and support for the Schools.

The Fairfield Methodist Schools Alumni Association traces its origins back to 1951.

An initiative of its first Asian Principal Mrs Lim Bock Kee, it commenced with a small group of 35 alumna. The first elected President was Tan Kah Joo, a member of the prominent Haw Par family, (known later as Datin Aw Kow). The then “Fairfield Methodist Girls' School Alumni Association's first activities were an Alumni Picnic and its Alumni Dinner, held at the sprawling grounds of Haw Par Lodge.

In the early years, Alumni Dinners were held at Christmas, at 178 Neil Road . Very often, husbands and boyfriends were roped in to form the numbers, making the occasion cosy and enjoyable family affairs. The tradition of an alumni network established itself quickly in succeeding years.

The Association was formally registered as a society with a Constitution and membership protocol, in 1961. In 1963, the Alumni Dinner was merged with the School's 75th Anniversary Dinner and celebrated with much pomp and grandeur in the old School Hall. Thus commenced a tradition that would later become the very icon of the Association's ties with the School.

The Association grew from strength to strength. Driving forces included alumni-teachers Tan Tin Kim, Cheong Yuen Lin and Tan nee Sim Geok Keng. Others who served tirelessly, managing the Association alongside the school, included Liu Lai Wan, Cheong nee Lim Poh Choo and Lee nee Hoo Mui Lee. Their leadership and dedication over several decades galvanised successive generations of school-leavers to maintain ties with the school.

In the ‘70s, the Dinners became also the Graduation Dinners for school-leavers. Over time, these became held on the school's birthday on 4th August, by then commemorated as Founder's Day. From then on, the Association's Annual Dinners became major Founder's Day events at hotels, much looked forward to by Fairsians, both young and old.

In 1983, Fairfield relocated to Dover Road , expanding into separate Primary and Secondary Schools, and becoming co-ed. The Association geared up to welcome its first male alumnus in 1986.

In 1988, the Association had its most memorable moment celebrating the Schools' 100th year at the Fairfield Centenary Dinner with then President of Singapore, Mr Wee Kim Wee.

In 2000, it revamped the Constitution to reflect the School's change of name, its co-educational enrolment, and expansion into 2 separate Schools. It was renamed “The Fairfield Methodist Schools Alumni Association”. Changing economics also called for changes to membership fees, hitherto entrenched in the Constitution. 2000 also saw the Association's newsletter officially named as “In Tandem”, a name chosen to underline the dynamics of the Association‘s role alongside the 2 schools.

Throughout its history, the Association played a critical role in each of the Schools'fundraising projects. It funded a Reading Programme at the Primary School, and started the tradition of awarding examination fee bursaries annually to O and N level students.
