Te Whakaruruhau (Kaumātua Council) are kaumātua who live in the Porirua community from a range of iwi. With representatives from Ngāti Toa this group works alongside the board, the Tumuaki and staff to provide cultural advice and support. 

Hei tāhuhu o ngā kōrero mō te Ohu Whakaruruhau, koirā te hunga kaumātua i takea mai ai Te Kura Māori o Porirua.  Nō ngā tōpito o te motu tēnei rōpū i whakarauhī mai hei kāhui kaumātua.  Ka taki hui ai te Ohu nei i ia wāhanga o te tau hei wānanga i ngā take huhua o te kura.
