正向學習型的教師團隊  
A Professional Learning Community committed to Positive Education 

學校發展及學生成長的關鍵在於教師專業能量。保馬教師團隊具備「成長型思維」 （Growth Mindset），深信學生的智能及能力是可以發展的。教師不僅熟悉課程，了解教育趨勢，亦樂於嘗試不同的教學策略，促進學生有效學習。而且，保馬教師了解學生成長的需要及特性，以言教指導、身教示範，更以愛心耐性培育學生，達致全人成長。教師擁抱挑戰，熱愛學習，在教育專業上終身學習，積極建立專業學習社群。 

 

培養學生 —— 成長型思維的終身學習者  
Guiding Students to become Lifelong Learners with Growth Mindset 

透過常規課堂，教師讓學生體驗學習的樂趣、學科與生活的關聯，以及欣賞學科之美。保馬教師更舉辦多元化的聯課、跨學科活動及世界教室交流體驗，讓學生跳出課室及課時的框框，主動探索知識。因應學科特性、課題內容、學生特質及學習風格，教師運用多元化而有效的教學策略，照顧學生的學習多樣性。同時，保馬教師重視讚賞及鼓勵，肯定學生在學習及成長過程中付出的努力，以及善用有效策略的能力，同時教導學生視失敗為成功的步驟，尋求及掌握改善策略，讓每個學生都能擁抱挑戰，自我超越，終身學習；讓每個課堂成為一段段充滿互動交流、共慶成果、共同建構知識的時光。 

 

培育學生 —— 成長型思維的正向領袖            優秀少年「B.E.S.T. TEEN」  
Fostering Students to become Positive "B.E.S.T. TEEN" Leaders with Growth Mindset 

我們堅信「優秀」與「平庸」之別，全繫於人是否具備「成長型思維」，追求卓越所重視的是過程中一點一滴的進步，而不在於與人比拼競逐。學校透過多元化的活動及有系統的領袖培訓，讓學生訂立具挑戰的目標，掌握有效策略，積極練習。教師亦通過解說，給予準確回饋，讓學生從失敗中總結經驗，恆毅前行，以達致「自我超越」（Transcendence），成為優秀少年「B.E.S.T. TEEN」。保馬致力發展成為正向幸福校園，藉著通往幸福的七個路徑（7 Well），培養師生及家長在思維、睡眠、運動、飲食、學習、玩樂和仁愛的良好個人及社交習慣，邁向豐盛人生，攜手尋找幸福。學校致力從政策、教職員專業發展、家長教育、教師語言、校園環境及設施、課程及活動中推動正向教育及身心靈健康，凝聚力量，締造正向幸福校園。 

 

POMA's philosophy

A Professional Learning Community committed to Positive Education 

The key to school development and student growth lies in the professional capacity of teachers. POMA's teaching team possesses a "Growth Mindset" and is convinced that students' intelligence and abilities can be developed. Teachers are not only familiar with the curriculum and the educational trends, but also willing to try different teaching strategies to promote effective learning. Moreover, POMA teachers understand the needs and characteristics of students' growth. Through acting as role models, our teachers cultivate students with love and patience to promote whole-person development. We embrace challenges, endeavour to pursue lifelong learning in the teaching profession, and build professional learning communities enthusiastically. 

 

Guiding Students to become Lifelong Learners with Growth Mindset 

Through regular lessons, our teachers let students experience the joy of learning, comprehend the connection between their learning and real life, and gain inspiration from various subjects. Furthermore, our teachers hold a variety of co-curricular and cross-curricular activities, as well as global classroom exchanges, allowing students to actively explore knowledge outside their classrooms. To match the characteristics of the subjects and the traits and learning styles of our students, our teachers design tailor-made, diversified and effective teaching strategies to cater for learners' diversity. In addition to effective strategies, our teachers value the importance of praising and encouraging our students. It enables students to recognize their efforts in the process of learning and personal growth. We teach students to regard failure as a step to achieve success, seek and master improvement strategies. Students are encouraged to embrace challenges for self-transcendence and lifelong learning. Each lesson is filled with interactive communication, collaborative knowledge acquisition and celebration of accomplishments. 

 

Fostering Students to become Positive "B.E.S.T. TEEN" Leaders with Growth Mindset 

We firmly believe that the difference between "excellence" and "mediocrity" is based on whether people have a "Growth Mindset". The pursuit of excellence should focus on the progress made during the process, rather than competing with others. Through a variety of activities and systematic leadership training, our school allows students to set challenging goals, master effective strategies and practice them actively. Apart from giving explanation and constructive feedback, our teachers guide students to gain experience from their failure to achieve "Transcendence" and become the "B.E.S.T. TEEN". POMA strives to incorporate positive education into the curriculum, empowering teachers, students and parents to work together to build the path to a flourishing life. There are seven important paths (7 Well) leading to a flourishing life, including Mentality Well, Sleep Well, Exercise Well, Eat Well, Study/Work Well, Play Well and Love Well. Our school is committed to creating a positive campus and establishing a school that treasures physical and psychological well-being through the formulation of sound school policies, the running of teacher professional development programs and parent education, the adoption of effective medium of instruction, the building of a positive learning environment, the provision of useful facilities, the offer of meaningful courses and the organization of school activities. 

B.E.S.T. Teen　2024-2025   校長序言

還記得學校的年度主題「年少無疆．惠澤社群」嗎？不要小看自己年輕，我們可以運用自身的專長，將所學實踐於生活中，幫助身邊有需要的人。讓我們的生命成為別人的祝福。

「惠澤社群」始於敏銳的覺察力與同理心。培養這兩種能力能幫助我們更細膩地察覺他人的需要。我就讀小學時，不少兒童出現頭蝨問題，學校會定期檢查學生的頭髮是否有頭蝨，有一次，我是班上唯一被老師發現有頭蝨的學生，必須領取專用洗髮水回家處理。同學們投來的異樣眼光和竊竊私語，我至今記憶猶新。

某天小息時，我獨自坐在雨天操場的角落，試圖平復心情。突然，一個高大的身影出現在我面前——是我的好友。我低聲對他說：「別靠近我，怕傳染給你。」他卻笑著回應：「我長得這麼高，頭蝨恐怕跳不上來吧！」說完，他便靜靜地坐在我身旁，陪我度過那段難熬的時光。  

回想起來，我的朋友只是敏銳地察覺到我的情緒，理解我的感受，並選擇用最簡單的方式——陪伴，帶我走出低谷。其實，我們不必追求驚天動地的壯舉，只需以一顆真誠的心，用微小的行動，傳遞溫暖。正如德蘭修女所說：「我們無法做偉大的事，但可以用偉大的愛做小事。」即使身為學生，大家依然能發揮所長，結合覺察力、同理心與科學知識，運用設計思維，為弱勢群體解決實際問題。  

恩惠不是債務，而是火炬。在成長路上，我們都曾接受他人的幫助。願每位保馬人（B.E.S.T. Teen）常懷感恩之心，將這份愛的火炬繼續傳遞下去，照亮更多需要幫助的人。  

 

B.E.S.T. Teen　2023-2024   校長序言

優秀少年 (B.E.S.T. Teen)，並非意味全能少年，而是在個人熱愛的舞台上，努力不懈，反思求進的少年。正如本年度學校的主題 ── 恆毅志成，期望每位保馬人都能創造自己的恆毅故事。

 

處於中學時代的保馬人，每每談及個人熱情所在，大多數同學可能仍然懵懵懂懂、一臉茫然。我們如何可找到自己的熱忱、職志或使命呢？在自我探索的路途上，我們可以回顧、反思成長歷程，探索個人喜好及強項，從而發現自己的天賦。在中學階段，我們可以保持開放的態度，跳出安舒區，參與各種聯課活動或擔任不同的職務，增加學習體驗。從中我們會發現自己的熱忱，同時也可以增進新知識、發展新技能及培養領袖需具備的態度。就我而言，我在中六時參與了學長計劃，協助中一級學弟學妹適應中學生活，讓我發現了對教育的興趣，驅使我改變羞澀的個性，學習與人溝通和公開演講，慢慢地成就了我的教育夢。我們也可透過升涯輔導中的職業測試、性格測試和能力評估，了解個人的特質及職業興趣等，促進認識自我。

 

我們也可以向朋友、老師或家人討教，聆聽他們的意見，從他們的角度，認識個人強項及需改進的地方。此外，我們也可以與從事不同行業的人交流或閱讀不同行業傑出人士的自傳，了解他們的職志及入職要求，從而擴展我們對事業發展的視野。成長過程中，我們可能因為困惑而接觸學校社工，從而確立了成為社工的職志；也可能因為參與劇社而接觸表演藝術，從而確立了投身演藝界的決心；甚至可能因為一次家人病患的經驗而感受到助人的愉悅，從而確立了投入醫護界的使命。

 

 

保馬人，如你暫時未找到熱情所在，也不要緊。善用你的餘暇，探索人生。一旦你找到你的熱情所在，以恆毅的態度去裝備自己，精進行業知識、磨練各項技能，並培養專業態度，你將成為更優秀的保馬人，在自己的舞台上發熱發亮。

 

B.E.S.T. Teen　2022-2023   校長序言

　

優秀少年（B.E.S.T. Teen）是基因遺傳、與生俱來，還是後天培育、努力得來的？也許你曾遇過一些天生異稟、家庭環境優越，但始終不能成為出類拔萃的人；也許你也遇過一些自出生便輸在起跑線，沒有天資天賦，也沒有社會資源，但卻能突破自我，創造奇蹟的人才。你能否從這些人身上總結出成功的關鍵因素？

　

其實，優秀的人都具備良好的個人習慣。常言道：「態度決定高度」，他們相信只要找到熱情所在，誰都可在自己專屬的舞台發光發亮。他們積極學習有效策略，勤加練習，適時反思，轉化挫敗經驗為成功的基石，讓成功經驗孕育成功。面對挫折或患難時，他們能聚焦於影響圈，專注可以改變的事情上，不會自怨自艾。他們也重視睡眠，讓自己能長期處於精神飽滿、情緒穩定、思路清晰的狀態，提升學習及工作的效能。正如英文俗諺「You are what you eat」，他們注重飲食，選擇有利大腦健康的食物，如堅果、豆類、綠葉菜等，好好「補」腦。學習品味食物，除了滿足生理需要，也為自己帶來心靈上的愉悅。每天更要飲用充足水分，既帶走體內的廢物，也有助減壓。他們生活多忙，也不忘運動。運動除了強身，也能強心，既可減壓，亦能強化正面情緒，提升大腦功能。

　

優秀的人也善於締造成功的環境。活在資訊科技發達的年代，人們難以專注，他們會尋找一個暫時遠離3C（即電腦、手機及平板電腦等）的溫習空間，減少資訊及娛樂帶來的分心，也減少來自社交媒體的負面情緒。他們為人謙遜，不矜不伐，不吝嗇自己的專長，樂於傳授或教導他人，教學相長，這也是最佳學習方法。他們會結交奮發上進的友伴，互相砥礪，樂於接受批評，改進自我。他們也會積極建立外間人際網絡，從學習社群中擴闊視野，從成功人士身上學習，站在巨人的肩膀上，望得更廣，走得更遠。

　

保馬人，讓我們善用暑期，建立良好的習慣，掌握有利成功的關鍵因素，創造成功的經驗，「從無到有，從有到優」。期待大家經過暑假實踐後，領略到優秀少年（B.E.S.T. Teen）的成功策略，體會到前所未有的滿足感，向優秀少年的目標邁進！
