Primary One Knock Door Letter Writing Guide: Examples, Structure & Checklist

After the central allocation results are out, knock door applications (候補) are the last chance to secure a spot at your preferred school. With only 1-3 places per school, a well-crafted knock door letter can make all the difference. This guide provides three anonymized example letters, a breakdown of effective structure, common mistakes, and a ready-to-use checklist. Please note: All admission procedures and dates should be verified with the Education Bureau (EDB) or the school directly. Visit the EDB website or call the School Places Allocation Section at 2832 7700 for the latest information.
