PV + Grassroots
Pei Chun is a non-affiliated SAP school. Phase 2B is purely via Parent Volunteer or Grassroots Leader — there is NO clan or church priority. This means less organized competition compared to SHHK or Catholic schools. PV slots are limited and competitive. Grassroots endorsement through local RC/CC is the alternative path.

Prices are medians of URA caveats — resale and sub-sale only, new launches excluded. "2BR"/"3BR" are floor areas (500–800 / 800–1,200 sq ft), not bedroom counts. Condo rents are URA's median rent per square foot per month (psf/mo) — a rate, not a monthly total. URA publishes no landed rents, so those cells stay blank. "—" means URA has no figure for that project: too few recent sales in that size band, or none at all.
Condo prices are medians of URA caveats — resale and sub-sale only, new launches excluded (window Sep 2024 – Sep 2026); condo rents are URA's median rent per square foot per month (2026 Q2). "—" means no figure is published for that row: too few records to quote one, or none at all. HDB figures in the within-1km tables are medians of data.gov.sg HDB resale registrations over the last 24 months and HDB's published median rent by town and flat type.
