We study 13 core-collapse supernova (CCSN) host galaxies
at 
. Continuum observations at 250 GHz were performed
using MAMBO at the IRAM-30 m telescope. No source is detected and the
error-weighted mean flux is 0.25 ± 0.32 mJy. Upper limits on their
dust masses are derived and the corresponding sample mean corresponds
to 
. These results are comparable to
previous submillimetre observations of SN-Ia hosts completed by Farrah
et al. and Clements et al. We conclude that CCSN hosts are not
extreme sources at millimetre wavelengths, and as confirmed using the
optical luminosities of a subset of our sample, they are typical of
the local galaxy population.
