This tree is growing in the school grounds at cecil plains, half hour out of dalby. Looks like it has quite small needles, any ideas?

Re: [ID] Pinus sp
Pinus pinea has much larger cones and tends to develop a flat, umbrella like top with a bit of age.
I'd take a stab at Pinus halapensis - Aleppo pine (or something closely related). P halapensis is widely planted through western NSW and Qld because it is quite drought hardy. It was also supposed to be the 'lone pine' from Gallipoli so is frequently planted at school and parks as an ANZAC memorial.
