Ms. Maya Matthew
Band and Art
Hello. My name is Maya Matthew. I was born and raised in BC, Canada. I recently graduated from the University of Victoria with distinction, concentrating on German and Choral music. My passion is learning new languages and to this end, I have travelled and moved to different countries to immerse myself in the local language and culture for example French in France and Quebec, Canada. I developed a love of music early in life and decided to pursue studies in singing at the encouragement of a vocal coach in Berlin, Germany in 1999. I completed a diploma in Vocal Performance in the Music Program at Capilano College, BC before continuing with my studies in the field of Education. As a teacher, I find it exciting to provide my students with the resources and support they need to successfully embark on their personal journeys. I am delighted to be a part of the BCCIS team!

Mr. Kris Walushka

Hello, Hello,Hello! I am very excited to be in Egypt and teaching PE and Social Studies. I am originally from Victoria, British Columbia, but have spent the better part of the last 7 years living in Nanaimo, BC, Australia, and England. I attended University in Nanaimo at Vancouver Island University (formerly Malaspina University-College), where I completed my Bachelor of Arts. I then headed down under for a year to complete my Masters of Teaching in Queensland, Australia. I have most recently spent a year teaching in London, England where I was a supply teacher for all subjects, and a full time teacher of Physical Education, Technology, and Citizenship. I am an extremely active person and thoroughly enjoy working with young people within the community and within the school system. I am interested in all types of sports and games and look forward to bringing a positive, motivational energy to BCCIS for this upcoming school year! I am looking forward to meeting all of you, so feel free to come and meet me as soon as you can! See you all very soon!

Mr. Shawn Merke

Prior to coming to Cairo and BCCIS, I resided and taught in Delta, British Columbia. I have not always been teacher throughout my working years; I previously worked in the forest industry before I decided to enter the University of British Columbia-Okanagan and complete my Bachelors of Education. I thoroughly enjoy travelling around the world, which allows me to meet new people and experience different ways of life.

Ms. Mekaila Frajman

My name is Mekaila Frajman. I was born and raised in British Columbia and moved to Alberta to attend the University of Alberta. I received my secondary education degree with a major in Biology, and a minor in Chemistry this year. I can’t wait to start my dream career as a teacher. As a teacher I make sure that every student is given ample opportunity to learn, and believe that every student has the ability to learn. I personally love fishing, camping, crafts, and keeping up with new discoveries in science and technology. I am fun, and am often remembered by my laugh.

Ms. Linda Breault
Secondary English & Transitions / Student Advisor
Ms Linda comes back to us another year after having survived teaching grades 8, 9, 10 and 11. She must be a masochist or else she loves us.
You can often hear her asking, "what part of 'no' don't you understand?" Maybe that's why she's growing all those grey hairs!
Ms Linda has had many careers besides teaching which makes her an ideal Career Adviser. She's also a mother and grandmother so she knows all the tricks young people play. Be ware!
