The motto is more usually translated as "Out of the East comes Health/Safety" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.17.150.217 (talk) 10:43, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Having been a pupil at the school, the translation actually given in the school is "out of the east comes hope".

Also, the current rubbish about school songs is a load of crap. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.31.146.89 (talk) 13:20, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

I feel that is it biased to say children over-achieve? Surely this is subjective and not suitable content. What does everyone else think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hesperus (talk • contribs) 14:07, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Eastbourne college crest.jpg
Image:Eastbourne college crest.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

914 Eastbourne
Is the Schools Class Trains section necessary here? It belongs in trainspotter's journal, not as a section heading for Eastbourne College. Shouldn't it be deleted or minimized to two lines? HIM (talk) 18:30, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * See article edit history. This sort of stuff was got rid of last February, but it seems to have crept back. Regards Motmit (talk) 20:46, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

I have removed the section and pasted it under 'Trains' Fairlightseven 24.06.09


 * The recently removed section was added in August 2008 and was clearly over-the-top, detail-wise. It was correct to remove this. (The previously-mentioned text was much shorter and had been in the article for well over a year.) Its relocation to 'Train' was wholly inappropriate (it's been deleted), but alerted me to the issue.
 * The naming of a locomotive indicates a certain degree of public/corporate recognition of an entity, and is a genuine fact relating to the history of the school, albeit tangentially. (If you researched further, it is quite likely you'd find that it was named at Eastbourne Station and that pupils were invited to the naming to inspect it. This is extrapolation on my part, but this is known to have happened for other schools.)
 * I have re-instated the topic, under a more subtle heading allowing for related topics to be appended. The facts presented are the minimum that provide sufficient context and connection between the railway, the locomotive, and the school.

Small Rewrite
A lot of this read like a press release, so I have removed the more blatant POV stuff. I have also tidied the article and put the sections in a more useful order. Finally, I re-added the lead paragraph about the price fixing - this was well sourced and is obviously within the scope of this article. DaveChild (talk) 09:18, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
