      • Sadly we have to say that families who cannot respect park rules will not be allowed back and may be asked to leave the premises immediately. 
      • Rudeness or disrespect to park staff, security or P&C organisers by your kids or adults will not be tolerated.  
      • Please tell your children the rules and enforce them
      • Inappropriate behaviour around children, trespassing or any acts which might bring ill repute on Harbord School name will result in a ban or the police being called. 
      • These rules exist for a number or reasons including safety.
      • Please remember there are no life guards and no child supervision is provided.
      • Please be sure to pick up your litter and tidy up after your family in common areas.
      Having fun, a few drinks and joining our party is 100% encouraged but please know the limits and tell your kids what is acceptable behaviour.
