SONA (Student Organised Network for Architecture) is the national student-membership body of the Australian Institute of Architects. Student members have access to a huge range of support networks and forums, information, resources, events, prizes and competitions.
There are SONA networks active in all states and territories that are supported by the SONA executive team.
In 2020 with the theme of renew, SONA will be actively engaged in addressing issues of sustainability, resilience and strength in both the environment and the community that works and learns within it.
SONA aims to foster a culture of community, leadership and collaboration between students for the advancement of architecture. This is achieved by bringing together students from across the Australia to participate in national and local events, to advocate for students and to offer opportunities for professional development.
The SONA team is comprised of an executive committee of four student members and 26 student SONA representatives from accredited universities (or those on the pathway to becoming accredited) across Australia.
It is this team of dedicated students that volunteer their time and energy to make positive things happen for Australian students of architecture.
