Council Activities and Local Events

Boracay Garden Restaurant, one of the latest additions to the NZPBC membership roster, formally opened its doors to the public on 7 April 2016 after a successful soft opening for lunch the day prior. Spearheaded by its owners, Stuart and Marjorie Bennett, Boracay Garden Restaurant showcases authentic Filipino and Asian cuisine, from the humble lumpia (spring roll) to the complicated kare-kare (Philippine stew complimented with a thick savory peanut sauce) at very affordable prices.

NZPBC takes pride on its members who are actively involved in other organizations that provide support to local communities in New Zealand. One of those organizations is the recently-formed De La Salle Alumni Association New Zealand (DLSAA-NZ), whose induction of officers and Executive Committee members was held on 26 February 2016 at Thai Street Bistro. The group aims to raise awareness on the existence of the De La Salle Alumni Association and to further encourage all alumni across NZ to join and take an active role in promoting the values of St. John La Salle to the community.
