About
SAUNDA
The Sydney Student Association of the University of Notre Dame Australia (SAUNDA) is a not-for-profit organisation at the heart of student experience run for students, by students since 2006.
We are elected student representatives committed to serving Notre Dame’s 6,000 Sydney Campus students. Through events and initiatives, we enhance the social, academic, and spiritual experience of our community while supporting student well-being.
Beyond event planning, we oversee clubs and societies, represent students at university functions, and serve on key committees to advocate for student interests. Many SAUNDA Committee members also sit on university committees, ensuring student voices are heard at all levels.
We work closely with university executives, including the Vice Chancellor and Pro Vice Chancellor, to strengthen the connection between students and the university, driving positive change.

Hi everyone!
My name is Jeanette Chamoun, and I’m honoured to be serving as President of the Student Association in 2026. As a Law student, I’m really excited to be part of a team that is dedicated to creating a supportive, inclusive and engaging environment for all students.
The Student Association is here to make your university experience as rewarding and memorable as possible—academically, socially, and professionally. Throughout the year, we aim to deliver a wide range of events and initiatives that bring people together, celebrate our community, and provide opportunities for both personal and professional growth.
We also work closely with our clubs and societies, and I strongly encourage you to get involved. Whether you’re looking to meet new people, explore your interests, or try something new, these groups are a great way to feel more connected to campus life.
Our team also collaborates nationally with our Fremantle counterparts, allowing us to share ideas, expand opportunities, and create a more connected experience across campuses.
Most importantly, we’re here for you. Whether you need support, guidance, advocacy, or just a friendly face, the Student Association is here to help you feel welcomed, supported, and valued throughout your time at university.
Wishing you all the best for the year ahead—I look forward to seeing you around campus!
