WESTERN AUSTRALIAN STATE SCHOOLSThe Fremantle Prison tunnels tour is a soft adve nture experience that is not without an element of risk. The two andhalf-hour tour includes the negotiation of stairs, ladders, uneven surfaces, narrow passageways and paddling small
watercraft. W hilst students w ill be provided with equipment for their safet y and comfort, the ex perience involves
physical exertion and requires a reasonable level of fitness, flexibility and coordination.

a limb or b ack injury, or an y other ph ysical impairment or medical condition that affects your ability to walk, climb
ladders, access confined spaces, board and control small paddle craft. If you are an expectant mother or are
recovering from a medical procedure, you are advised not to participate on this tour.
If the student has an y of these conditions, or any other condition not listed above that you reasonably suspect may put
