Around the motu: Samantha Gee in Nelson

Some schools across New Zealand have had their names changed on Google Maps - in what appears to be a prank by internet users occurring around the world.  

Nelson College for Girls was renamed Yoza highschool, while in the North Island, Rathkeale College in Masterton has been called the Huak Tuah College of rizzcraft and sigmatry on Google.

And Nelson's Tāhunanui Beach will be one of the first sites targeted in new Government funding announced to clean up contaminated sites and vulnerable landfills.
