Smith’s: Fuelling Student Focus
At Smith’s, we know that great-tasting, high-quality snacks do more than satisfy cravings. They play an important role in student nutrition, helping learners stay nourished, alert, and ready to get the most out of their school day. This newsletter highlights how our Australian-Made chips can complement school meal programs, support student wellbeing, and contribute to better learning outcomes.
Our Heritage
Our Heritage Affectionately known as “the People’s Chip,” Smith’s has been a household name since 1931. Our products are made with potatoes grown by Australian farmers, including from family farms who’ve supplied us for over 50 years. That care and consistency ensure every chip delivers the legendary crunch and flavour students love.
Australian Made
Smith’s chips are proudly made in Australian facilities, where we carefully wash, peel, slice, and cook locally grown potatoes in sunflower and canola oils. These oils contain less saturated fat than traditional alternatives, giving students a lighter option without sacrificing flavour. Smith’s are now selling Crinkle Original and Chicken flavours with a 3.5 HSR without sacrificing taste!
School Ready Portion Controlled Snacks
We have a wide portfolio of products that suits school needs. This includes Smiths, Red Rock Deli, Grainwaves, Popcorners and Sunbites Popcorn. Key Flavours across Key Brands are sold in a 28g pack for Portion Control.
Nutrition and Learning Outcomes
Good nutrition is essential for student success. Well-fed students are more focused, better behaved, and more likely to participate fully in lessons. Teachers also benefit from reduced classroom disruptions and improved overall engagement.
Better For You Snack options can:
- Support sustained concentration during class
- Help manage energy levels across the school day
- Reduce behavioural disruptions linked to hunger
- Contribute to positive learning habits and outcomes
By making student-friendly snacks part of balanced meal programs, schools can help learners achieve their best while easing pressure on teachers.
Supporting School Nutrition Programs
Schools often have access to funding opportunities that can make investing in healthier food choices easier. These include government grants, local initiatives, and private sponsorships that support nutrition programs, equipment upgrades, or professional development for staff. Accessing these resources allows schools to provide nutritious snacks within budget, strengthening both student wellbeing and learning outcomes.
Practical and Flexible Solutions
Smith’s offers portion-controlled packaging that reduces waste, simplifies storage, and makes distribution easy for canteens and events. This flexibility ensures schools can provide reliable snack options that fit smoothly into daily operations. With products free from artificial colours, many gluten-free varieties, and several vegan-friendly options, Smith’s Portfolio of Products helps schools cater to diverse dietary needs.
Whether served in lunchboxes, through the canteen, or at after-school programs, Smith’s Snackfoods delivers consistent quality and flavour that students enjoy.
