The monument is a Lone Pine tree presented to the O'Connor Catholic College by Cedar Nursery in Armidale and the 12th/16th Hunter Lancers as part of the celebration of the Anzac Centenary of Gallipoli held on 25th April 2015. The memorial tree is planted at the front of the school on the south western corner of the lawn. Andrew May, a teacher at the school, organised and created the interpretation panel which outlines the history of the Battle of Lone Pine and the origin of the Lone Pine Trees.
