Getting started

Student logging in - Once your teacher has registered you and given you a login ID and password – you can login in via this link. If you have problems go to this login help’ guide. 

Take a look at the companies in the Game - You can choose from over 300 companies listed on the ASX. If you find there are too many to choose from, don’t let this worry you as you are likely to know some of these, for example: JB Hi-Fi, Flight Centre, Woolworths or Domino’s Pizza.

You can only view the company list once you have logged in. It may be helpful to print out the list of all the companies and circle the ones that you know. Have a chat with your family about any companies on the list that they know or perhaps own shares in. For additional help read The Company list.

It is helpful to understand the different market sectors (or industries). A sector is a group of companies that have the same business operations. As the economy moves through different cycles, certain sectors will profit more than others. You can view companies by sector, by using the sector drop down tool on the Company list page.
