Unidentified teaser for Australian / New Zealand (?) children TV series

After my previous post from several months ago, here's another identification attempt for some program which aired in the '90s on Junior TV, a former Italian syndication for kids :)

During this network promo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNj7eTbDMfY you can see, from 0:28 to 0:39, a teaser / excerpt from some live-action children TV series which appears to be titled, in Italian, "Siete pronti?" -- "Are You Ready?". I've been trying to identify this one but I have very few clues, and the video quality appears to be too low and the shots too generic for an image search. (Of course the music is part of the promo and doesn't relate to the series).

Only known facts:

- the network promo was 100% broadcast in autumn 1996: Junior TV always had a long 3-minute promo of its programs which changed every year at the start of the television season, and that particular JTV logo was only used in 1996/97 for a single season. Since live-action series on JTV were usually some years old, the series is likely to be from the early '90s or at most the late '80s;

- I'm 90% sure that the series is from Australia or New Zealand: JTV bought a lot of obscure children TV series from those countries. If not (10%), it may be American or Canadian;

- the translation of the titles was nearly always literal; so the original title is likely to be "Are You Ready?" or something like that, but of course the phrase is too common.

- last but not least: I recently found an image of an official advert in print, which briefly mentions several programs on the air at the time (no additional images, unfortunately). And among them is " "Siete pronti?": telefilm per imparare quel che si deve e non si deve fare " -- "Are You Ready?: a TV series to learn what you should and shouldn't do". That's all the description I have.

Any countribution matters! :D
