Having resided in Earle Page College during my under graduate days a few years back (Editor's comment: Nah! It was many moons ago!) I was somewhat upset when I picked up Wednesday's edition of The Armidale Express and saw its front page report (pictured above).
The University of New England is undertaking a $4.6 million program to have its seven residential colleges comply with fire code standards.
But, here's the rub. While the project covers all seven colleges, it's being done in two stages and for EPC only its ground and first floors will be upgraded in the project's first stage.That means the second (i.e. top floors) in EPC will be closed for accommodation purposes in 2011 so EPC will have to cut its student intake by 100 in 2011.

Hi Clarrie! I stumbled upon this particular article, and was pleasantly surprised to discover that you're a Pagite! As you may have already heard, Earle Page College is celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2013 and we are inviting all residents, past and present, to attend. The website is below in case you're interested! I hope to see you there!
P.S. 2013 also sees the year that all floors of Earle Page College are open again!
