Conditions in China today are calling for a more holistic approach to education. As a result of seminars held in Changchun, Jilin, senior administrators suggested the introduction of Student Services Offices in elementary schools. This study examined 19 action plans developed by educators in North East China which reveal their goals for these offices. Findings reflect literature on comprehensive guidance program models as support for students’ academic, career and personal/social needs. However, the educators’ perceived needs for the Student Services Offices also include assisting teachers with their personal and work issues. Implications for international research and suggestions for rethinking school counselling programs are offered.
