校園環境 孕育雋才
保馬校園不僅是一個傳授知識的地方,讓學生盡情發揮的舞台,更是陶冶情操的芳園,潤澤心靈的家園。
(一)校園文化 · SOFTWARE
「人類塑造環境,環境陶冶人類」,學生置身校園,潛移默化,漸漸受校園文化的薰陶濡染。視藝廊、光榮榜和保馬星光大道等建設,讓學生在互相欣賞和備受肯定的環境下,自信地成長。名言橫幅和英語金句營造濃厚的學習氣氛。保馬也是著重環保的綠色校園,青蔥處處,更有不同的環保設備。
校園的一磚一瓦是師生共享的,保馬學生與老師共建校園,「油牆假期」、「周會搬椅」和「美化校園 」(包括學校外牆、圖書館、多媒體學習室、健身室、數學資源室、化學室、地理室、美術室和輔導室)等計劃,培養學生的責任感和使命感,也讓保馬成為學生的第二個家。
(二) 師生情 · HEARTWARE
保馬是學生的家,保馬老師就是學生的父母,深厚的師生情是學生成長的支柱。透過定時的師生共聚、「#WeChat@POMA」、師生共晉午餐、學生輔導和午間康樂等活動,讓保馬師生緊繫一起。

“We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us," said Sir Winston Churchill. Our school culture helps to cultivate students’ values and develop their confidence. Through the displays in our Visual Arts Corner, Hall of Fame and POMA Avenue of Stars, students’ achievements are highly acclaimed. Meanwhile, students can always get their creative juices flowing with their collaboration in the design and renovation of school facilities. All these cultivate students' sense of responsibility and make POMA a second home for students.
