  Young Alums Return to Campus  

Branksome's Young Alum Lunch is a return of our university alumnae on the last day of school, before the start of Christmas holidays. The tradition began in 1999 and was called "The Millenium Breakfast." This popular event soon evolved into a luncheon and the opportunity for our recent grads to see their teachers and attend the Holiday Assembly as well.
