Are you a school leader at a Real Schools partner school?
Adam is running The Bullying Myth as a live masterclass just for partners.
We’ve got better at spotting bullying, reporting bullying and responding to bullying.
But have we got better at reducing it?
Schools have been told the answer is more awareness, better reporting, faster complaint handling and another anti-bullying program. And those things have a place…
But if bullying persists despite them, what if we’re trying to fix the wrong thing?
In this practical 90-minute workshop, Adam Voigt will challenge school leaders to think differently about bullying – starting with what it actually is.
Not every conflict, friendship fallout or hurtful behaviour is bullying, and responding as though it is doesn’t help anyone.
You’ll learn how to recognise bullying more accurately, respond confidently when it is happening, and look beyond individual incidents to the culture around them. Most importantly, you’ll explore practical ways to strengthen relationships, belonging and the everyday conditions that give bullying less room to grow.
Because the goal isn’t to get better at managing bullying.
It’s to build a school where there’s less of it to manage.
Adam Voigt’s Online Workshop, The Bullying Myth, kicks off in…
THE MYTH
Get clear on what bullying actually is.
- Why bullying is a culture problem, not simply a behaviour problem
- The Three-Test Framework to recognise bullying:
- It’s repeated
- It’s about social power
- It’s harmful
- How to distinguish bullying from conflict, exclusion and friendship breakdowns – without dismissing parent concerns
THE REALITY
Understand what actually reduces bullying.
- What schools outperforming national bullying rates are doing differently
- What research across 1,378 schools tells us about prevention – and why a restorative ethos matters
- How to hold students accountable without cementing ‘Bully’ as their identity
THE RESPONSE
Know what to do next.
- The Bullying Breakthrough Framework and four cultural levers
- The Past / Present / Future Process for moving from investigation towards repair
- What to say when a parent reports bullying – including when it doesn’t pass the Three-Test Framework

Meet Your Facilitator
Adam Voigt, Former Principal, Founder and CEO, Real Schools
Adam has spent more than 20 years working in and alongside Australian schools – and has seen the bullying conversation from every angle.
As a classroom teacher.
As a principal taking the parent phone call.
As an adviser working beside school leaders.
And as a national commentator on student behaviour and school culture.
He understands why schools are under pressure to act on bullying. He also knows good intentions and good outcomes aren’t the same thing.
On 27 October, he’ll show you what the evidence tells us, what schools getting better results are doing differently and what you can start doing differently in yours.
Stop adding more awareness to a problem everybody already knows exists.
Start changing the culture that allows it to survive.
