ARIA Award-winning hip hop artist JK-47 was a special guest at Wangaratta High School's recent Positive Minds Day.

Held in the final week of term, the day was planned for the oval but moved indoors due to rain, creating a great vibe with basketball, a barbecue and hip hop combining to entertain students.

Students from VCE-Vocational Major, supported by Alice Reynolds and Sal Kimber, organised activities including a barbecue fundraiser for the RUOK? campaign.

School nurse Geraldine Meyer shared health information about vaping and smoking, while students displayed positive mental health posters.

The day featured a lively staff versus student basketball game, MCed by Harry Hildebrand, followed by the performance by First Nations artist JK-47.

He joined Aunty Narelle Urquhart for a yarning circle, before performing an uplifting set which had students on their feet.

The day proved a memorable celebration of wellbeing, positivity and connection, and it's hoped it will become an annual September tradition.
