As with the previous year, majority of lessons were conducted online with support provided for parents and learners who had trouble with accessing computers or the internet. Classes resumed gradually in the second half of the year,. 

As the school was unoccupied by the pupils, the management decided to take advantage and refurbish the whole school. Every room was fully renovated, including the science lab, library and ICT room.
