Literature at Golden Bridge International College

At Golden Bridge International College (Pvt.) Ltd., we celebrate literature as a cornerstone of holistic education, inspiring pupils, empowering teachers, engaging parents, and enriching our wider community in Sri Lanka and beyond. Literature is more than words on a page; it is a gateway to understanding the human experience, fostering empathy, critical thinking, and cultural appreciation. Through our women-led, inclusive approach, we weave literature into the fabric of our five divisions—Golden Steps Preschool, Golden Crib Day-Care Centre, Golden Heaven by Rebecca Randiwela, Golden Bridge International College, and Golden Gate Education Centre—to nurture well-rounded individuals who contribute meaningfully to society.

For Our Pupils

To our pupils, literature is a journey of discovery. From the playful stories in Golden Steps Preschool to the profound texts studied in Golden Bridge International College and Golden Gate Education Centre, literature sparks imagination and hones critical skills. It teaches you to analyse, question, and express ideas with clarity in our English-Speaking Zone. Whether exploring classic novels, contemporary poetry, or global narratives, literature equips you with the tools to understand diverse perspectives, build emotional resilience, and articulate your dreams—preparing you to become leaders who value honesty, loyalty, and gratitude.

For Our Teachers

To our dedicated, all-female faculty, literature is a powerful tool for education and inspiration. As educators, you use literature to ignite curiosity and foster intellectual growth in our small classes of nine students. From introducing young learners to storytelling in Golden Crib Day-Care Centre to guiding advanced literary analysis in our college programmes, you create inclusive spaces where every pupil’s voice is heard. Literature empowers you to teach empathy, cultural awareness, and critical thinking, aligning with our mission to develop righteous, intelligent individuals.

For Our Parents

To our parents, literature is a bridge to your child’s future. At Golden Bridge, we integrate literature across our divisions to support your child’s social, emotional, and intellectual development. In Golden Heaven by Rebecca Randiwela, literature aids in remedial education for children with special needs, fostering communication and confidence. Through our curriculum, your child engages with stories and texts that build language proficiency, self-regulation, and respect for all cultures and religions—an ethos rooted in our commitment to inclusivity. We invite you to join us in this journey, participating in literary activities that strengthen family bonds and community ties.

For the General Public

To our community in Sri Lanka and the global audience, Golden Bridge International College champions literature as a force for unity and progress. Our affiliation with The Asian Academy of Performing Arts enhances our literary offerings, connecting local students to global narratives and internationally accredited qualifications. Literature at Golden Bridge reflects our vision to produce citizens who uphold honesty, loyalty, and gratitude, contributing to a sustainable future. By embracing diverse voices and fostering a love for reading and critical discourse, we aim to inspire a society that values knowledge, empathy, and cultural harmony.
