That’s exactly what happened at St Joseph’s RC Comprehensive School in South Tyneside 12 years ago and a Shields Gazette photographer spent a day at the school to capture the atmosphere.
But were you there? Were you in one of these photos as you took lessons in art, cookery, martial arts and much more besides.
To trigger your memories, we have 8 pictures from the Gazette archives to share with you. Take a look.
