Recent embellishments
It is impossible to walk for more than a few yards within the school without coming across an embellishment. These have ranged from the provision of an OE flag (£40) to substantial improvements to the Memorial Hall including the erection of bronze panels to commemorate the OE dead of World War II at a cost of £16,000.

The Wettern Prize was awarded to Christopher Cheng, who proposed a three-dimensional mural to enliven the alley which runs between College Field and the entrance to School House. This is in course of production.

Chapel Yard
Six olive trees in planters were installed in the Chapel Yard in January 2008.

'Nobody's Business'
The Embellishers have published Nobody's Business, the 300-page illustrated autobiography of Gordon Carey OE, Headmaster 1929-38, which is available to purchase for just £10 plus p&p.

Spencer Court
To commemorate the 140th anniversary of the College’s foundation, at 11am on 22 September 2007, OE Reunion Day, the Embellishers placed a plaque on the boundary wall of Spencer Court, the College’s original 1867 home.  This was unveiled by OE Embellisher John Elliott in a ceremony attended by the Town Mayor and hosted by Chairman of Governors, Sir Ian Forbes. More details are in the Headmaster's web report.

Old Wish Road lamp standards
During September 2007 three modern street lamps in Old Wish Road were replaced by original Victorian cast iron columns and surmounted by replica Victorian lamps. This project, which the Embellishers funded to the tune of £6,000, has been led by OE Embellisher Richard Crook.

Ypres First World War Memorial
On Thursday 27 September 2007 at 2.30pm a plaque in St George’s Memorial Church at Ypres was dedicated to the memory of the 167 OEs who gave their lives in the Great War.  A party from the College, led by Chaplain Chris Macdonald, travelled from Eastbourne and was met by descendants of one of the young men who gave their lives in this war. More details are in the Headmaster's web report.
