A half day leave application is a formal written request for permission to be absent for half a working day — either the morning session or the afternoon session. It is used by both students (to the principal/teacher) and employees (to the manager/HR). The application should state the reason, date, and whether the morning or afternoon session is requested.
Half day leave application requests either morning or afternoon session off.
School format: addressed to class teacher or principal; include class and roll number.
Office format: addressed to manager/HR; include designation and employee ID.

Keep the application brief — 3–5 sentences for the body is sufficient.
