1. Information literacy: Necessary but not
sufficient for 21st century learning
You can’t teach people everything they need to
know. The best you can do is position them
where they can find what they need to know
when they need to know it.
Darryl Toerien and David Harrow, Oakham School

2. Statement of Inquiry:
Our current school system was originally designed
to teach people everything they need to know.
Positioning them instead where they can find
what they need to know when they need to know
it necessitates a significant change in our
approach to education.

IB Diploma Programme
(‘IB DP’)
The IB aspires to help schools develop well-rounded students
with character; students who can respond to challenges
with optimism and an open-mind; students confident in
their own identities; students who make ethical decisions;
students who join with others in celebrating our common
humanity; students who are prepared to apply what they
learn in real world, complex and unpredictable situations.
